Researchers at the University of Cambridge have taken a major step forward in unravelling one of the key control mechanisms of the human body. A paper published today (July 14) in the journal Science shows how scientists, funded in part by the UK’s Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), have made significant progress in understanding how cells are able to regulate calcium signals. This improved understanding could help improve drug targeting.
