Diet Rich in Calcium Aids Weight Loss in People with Calcium-Deficient Diets

Boosting calcium consumption spurs weight loss, according to a study published in the most recent issue of the British Journal of Nutrition, but only in people whose diets are calcium deficient. 
New Role for Immune System Pathway in Post-heart-attack Inflammation
piggy submitted, created time 11 months 3 weeks (www.sciencedaily.com)
A new study led by University of Iowa researchers has found an unexpected new link between this inflammation in heart muscle following heart attacks and a previously known enzyme called calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II or CaM kinase II. The findings also reveal the involvement of an immune system gene--complement factor B--that has been implicated in other inflammatory diseases.
The study, published online March 9 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, suggests that CaM kinase II inhibition could be a therapeutic target in heart disease, but by previously unknown pathways.
Scientists eavesdrop on the exciting conversations within cells

Scientists have discovered the secrets of a sophisticated molecule that plays a role in many aspects of human health from fertility to blood pressure; digestion to mental health. This has opened up the potential for discovery of new drugs to treat an enormous variety of conditions.
In research supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Wellcome Trust a team from the University of Cambridge shows how a molecule – the IP3 receptor – arranges itself into clusters to help broadcast vital chemical messages around cells in the form of calcium
researchers discover new tactic against fatal muscular dystrophy

Based on a striking similarity between heart disease and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have discovered that a new class of experimental drugs for heart failure may also help treat the fatal muscular disorder.
At first glance, heart failure and the muscle-wasting Duchenne disease couldn't appear more dissimilar. Duchenne affects boys usually before the age of six, destroying their muscle cells. The boys become progressively weaker through their teens and usually die in their twenties
Calcium May Only Protect Against Colorectal Cancer in Presence of Magnesium

High magnesium intake has been associated with low risk of colorectal cancer. Americans have similar average magnesium intake as East Asian populations. If that were all that were involved, observers might expect both groups to have similar risk for colorectal cancer
Link Between Vitamin D And Multiple Sclerosis

Vitamin D, the principal regulator of calcium in the body, may prevent the production of malignant cells such as breast and prostate cancer cells and protect against specific autoimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis (MS) according to an article by Sylvia Christakos, PhD, of the UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School.
In the article, Christakos reports that research shows that the incidence of MS decreases as the amount of vitamin D available to the body increases, either through sunlight exposure or diet
Bcl-2-Regulated Calcium Signals as Common Mediators of Both Apoptosis and Autophagy
Vincent submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.sciencedirect.com)
Macroautophagy is an evolutionary conserved lysosomal pathway involved in the turnover of cellular macromolecules and organelles. In spite of its essential role in tissue homeostasis, the molecular mechanisms regulating mammalian macroautophagy are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that a rise in the free cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]c) is a potent inducer of macroautophagy

Boost endurance? Could it be another kind of analeptic drug? We don't know how much further could this research go.
Extra calcium may raise health risks in older women
Sue Wu submitted, created time 2 years 1 month (www.reuters.com)
"Calcium supplements are commonly prescribed to postmenopausal women to maintain bone health, and some data suggest it might protect against vascular disease by lowering levels of LDL cholesterol, the so-called 'bad cholesterol', in the blood."
Abl tyrosine kinases regulate cell–cell adhesion through Rho GTPases
bachelor submitted, created time 2 years 4 months (www.pnas.org)
Adherens junctions are calcium-dependent cell–cell contacts that link neighboring cells through cadherin receptors. Coordinated regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by the Rho GTPases is required for the formation and dissolution of adherens junctions. However, the pathways that link cadherin signaling to cytoskeletal regulation remain poorly defined. Here we identify the Abl family kinases as critical mediators of cadherin-mediated adhesion
Ablation of sarcolipin enhances sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium transport and atrial contractility
sumsung submitted, created time 2 years 4 months (www.pnas.org)
Sarcolipin is a novel regulator of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2a (SERCA2a) and is expressed abundantly in atria. In this study we investigated the physiological significance of sarcolipin in the heart by generating a mouse model deficient for sarcolipin.
A protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation network regulates a plant potassium channel
benjiamin submitted, created time 2 years 5 months (www.pnas.org)
Potassium (K+) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and development. Plants often adapt to low K+ conditions by increasing their K+ uptake capability. Recent studies have led to the identification of a calcium signaling pathway that enables plants to act in this capacity.
Boosting key milk nutrients may help lower type 2 diabetes risk
bianjie submitted, created time 2 years 7 months (www.eurekalert.org)
Most Americans fail to get the calcium and vitamin D they need, but this shortfall could be affecting more than their bones. It may, at least in part, be one reason behind the epidemic of type 2 diabetes, suggests new research conducted at Tufts University.
Calcium from diet best for building bone density

Women who want to keep their bones strong after menopause may be better off eating plenty of calcium-rich food than relying on supplements for their intake of the mineral, a new study shows.
Boosting key milk nutrients may protect against cancer
diggman submitted, created time 2 years 9 months (www.eurekalert.org)
New study suggests calcium and vitamin D may reduce cancer risk in women by at least 60 percent. Key milk nutrients, calcium and vitamin D, may do more than just help keep your bones strong. Increasing intake of calcium and vitamin D could reduce the risk for cancer in women by at least 60 percent, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
