Calcium May Only Protect Against Colorectal Cancer in Presence of Magnesium
sea-maid submitted, created time 3 days 19 hours (www.sciencedaily.com)
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
kavin submitted, created time 2 months 2 weeks (www.medicalnewstoday.com)
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 8 months 1 week (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 10 months 6 days (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 1 year 1 week (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 1 year 3 weeks (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 1 year 1 month (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 1 year 4 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 1 year 5 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

“Sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor-1–deficient (NHERF-1–/–) mice demonstrate increases in the urinary excretion of phosphate, calcium, and uric acid associated with interstitial deposition of calcium in the papilla of the kidney." 


Calcium and Vitamin D Intakes in Relation to Risk of Distal Colorectal Adenoma in Women
badboy submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (aje.oxfordjournals.org)
"The authors examined intakes of calcium and vitamin D, and interaction with retinol, in relation to risk of adenoma of the distal colon or rectum among 48,115 US women who were free of colorectal cancer or polyps, completed a food frequency questionnaire in 1980, and underwent endoscopy by 2002. They documented 2,747 cases of adenoma (1,064 large, 1,531 small, 2,085 distal colon, and 779 rectal). "

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the leading cause of neurological disability in young adults, affecting some two million people worldwide. Traditionally, MS has been considered a chronic, inflammatory disorder of the central white matter in which ensuing demyelination results in physical disability [Frohman EM, Racke MK, Raine CS (2006) N Engl J Med 354:942-955]. More recently, MS has become increasingly viewed as a neurodegenerative disorder in which neuronal loss, axonal injury, and atrophy of the CNS lead to permanent neurological and clinical disability 


Nuns Reunite to Mark 1967 Calcium Study

"Nearly 200 nuns from the Omaha area enrolled in the study that Creighton University researcher Robert Heaney began in 1967. Results gathered over 25 years of in-hospital studies, and later from biyearly checkups, serve as the basis for calcium intake recommendations for adult women. ”
