Regulation of Calcium Homeostasis in Endoplasmic Reticulum–Mitochondria Crosstalk: Implications for Skeletal Muscle Atrophy

The Critical Role of Calcium in Skeletal Muscle Function and Its Interaction with Mitochondria and the Endoplasmic Reticulum Academic Background Calcium ions (Ca²⁺) are crucial intracellular signaling molecules, particularly in the excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) of skeletal muscle. The contraction of skeletal muscle relies on the release and...

Perioperative levels of IL8 and IL18, but not IL6, are associated with nucleus basalis magnocellularis atrophy three months after surgery

Association Study of Perioperative IL8 and IL18 Levels with Brain Basal Ganglia Atrophy Three Months After Surgery Background In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that surgical procedures may accelerate brain atrophy. Meanwhile, the relationship between systemic inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases has also received co...
