The ryanodine receptor microdomain in cardiomyocytes
The ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR) is a key player in Ca2+ handling during excitation-contraction coupling. During each heartbeat, RyR channels are responsible for linking the action potential with the contractile machinery of the cardiomyocyte by releasing Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Metabolite‐driven redox stress governs cancer cell senescence. TPI1 deficiency elevates DHAP, initiating SARM1‐dependent cADPR‐Ca2+ release. Mitochondrial ROS surge subsequently induces DNA damage and senescence, offering a conserved therapeutic target in multiple cancers.

Differential Downregulation of β1‐Adrenergic Receptor Signaling in the Heart
Background Chronic sympathetic stimulation drives desensitization and downregulation of β1 adrenergic receptor (β1AR) in heart failure. We aim to explore the differential downregulation subcellular pools of β1AR signaling in the heart.

Regulation of Ryanodine Receptors in the Heart [PDF]
See related article, pages 819–829 In response to exercise or other stresses, catecholamines are released into the circulation and within the heart. Catecholaminergic stimulation of β1-adrenergic receptors (β1ARs) in the heart increases heart rate (chronotropy) and contractility (inotropy), resulting in increased cardiac output during acute ...

FKBP12 Depletion Leads to Loss of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ Stores in Rat Vas Deferens
The immunophilin 12-kDa FK506 binding protein (FKBP12) stabilizes intracellular Ca2+ release channel (CRC) activity in different tissues. In this work, the presence of FKBP12 in rat vas deferens (RVD) and its possible contribution to RVD function was ...

Dependency of calcium alternans on ryanodine receptor refractoriness. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rapid pacing rates induce alternations in the cytosolic calcium concentration caused by fluctuations in calcium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).

Recent evidence suggests that the reason Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of developing hypertension is partly due to minor components of EVOO, such as phenols. However, little is still known about the mechanism(s)

The structural biology of ryanodine receptors [PDF]
Ryanodine receptors are ion channels that allow for the release of Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum. They are expressed in many different cell types but are best known for their predominance in skeletal and cardiac myocytes, where they are directly involved in excitation-contraction coupling. With molecular weights exceeding 2 MDa,

Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...
