Functional subpopulations of β-cells emerge to control pulsative insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets of mice through calcium oscillations.

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Developed by Northwestern Engineering’s Igor Efimov and George Washington University’s Luyao Lu, the implantable device uses ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Calcium benefits the body by supporting bone health and possibly reducing the risk of colon cancer. Calcium may also help improve blood pressure and boost better weight control. Adequate calcium is ...

Researchers have developed a method employing high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) to determine vitamin D3 in food (even in the presence of vitamin D2, and with ...

Micronutrients, including mineral ions and trace elements, work together to optimize the biological and biochemical functions of the body. Essential components such as calcium, phosphate, zinc, iron, ...

The sulfonic or carboxylic groups may be saturated initially with hydrogen, ammonium, sodium, potassium or calcium or combinations of these ions, the exact choice depending chiefly on the clinical ...
