Ryanodine receptors (RyRs), the intracellular Ca2+ release channels, are expressed in T lymphocytes and other types of immune cells. Modulation of RyRs has been shown to affect T cell functions in vitro and immune responses in vivo.

RyR1-targeted drug discovery pipeline integrating FRET-based high-throughput screening and human myofiber dynamic Ca2+ assays. [PDF]
Elevated cytoplasmic [Ca2+] is characteristic in severe skeletal and cardiac myopathies, diabetes, and neurodegeneration, and partly results from increased Ca2+ leak from sarcoplasmic reticulum stores via dysregulated ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels ...

Hyperthermia and neurological catastrophe: An interesting case report
Fever is a common symptom encountered in clinical practice. Hyperthermia, though infrequently encountered, can be genetical (malignant hyperthermia) or acquired when the body temperature rises beyond a certain set point that is controlled by the ...

Deranged calcium signaling and neurodegeneration in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 [PDF]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), is an autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a polyglutamine expansion in ataxin-3 (SCA3, MJD1) protein.

A case of malignant hyperthermia during anesthesia induction with sevoflurane -A case report- [PDF]
We experienced a case of malignant hyperthermia (MH) in 6-year-old boy during anesthesia induction for strabismus surgery. It has been generally reported that sevoflurane can induce the delayed onset of MH in the absence of succinylcholine.

Dantrolene : From Malignant Hyperthermia to Alzheimer's Disease.
Dantrolene, a ryanodine receptor antagonist, is primarily known as the only clinically acceptable and effective treatment for malignant hyperthermia (MH). Inhibition of ryanodine receptor (RyR) by dantrolene decrease the abnormal calcium release from the

Carvedilol inhibits the cardiostimulant and thermogenic effects of MDMA in humans : lost in translation [PDF]
We greatly appreciate the comments offered by Drs Rolle, Takematsu, and Hoffman and the opportunity to put our work into a wider perspective. We share the view that our work does not reflect the clinical situation but rather provides a proof of mechanism
