Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia but the changes in brain cell function underlying memory loss remains poorly understood. Researchers at the University of Bristol have ...

Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) have several actions that might prevent acute tubular necrosis after renal transplantation and thereby reduce the likelihood of delayed graft function (DGF). This ...

A little extra calcium is a good thing, to help maintain healthy bones and muscles. However, too much calcium in your neurons could be an underlying cause of memory loss for those afflicted with ...
