The Ca 3.2 isoform of T-type voltage-gated calcium channels plays a crucial role in regulating the excitability of nociceptive neurons; the endogenous molecules that modulate its activity, however, remain poorly understood. Here, we used serum proteomics and patch-clamp physiology to discover a novel peptide albumin (1-26) that facilitates channel gating by chelating trace metals that tonically inhibit Ca 3.

As published data on the current incidence of different subtypes of IDH-mutant gliomas (based on the latest histomolecular WHO classification) are lacking in many countries. The present analysis aims to review the main factors impacting the incidence of gliomas and lower-grade gliomas and to estimate the incidence and prevalence of IDH-mutant gliomas in France.
