Introduction And Hypothesis: Pelvic floor dysfunction usually results in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and/or urinary incontinence. In women, several factors, including pregnancy and vaginal delivery, can affect pelvic muscle conditions. The aim of the study was to perform a genetic analysis in young women with a family history of pelvic floor dysfunction to find potentially harmful variants or variants that increase the risk of developing pelvic floor disorders.

Arthritis leads to bone erosion due to an imbalance between osteoclast and osteoblast function. Our prior investigations revealed that the Ca-selective ion channel, Orai1, is critical for osteoclast maturation. Here, we show that the small-molecule ELP-004 preferentially inhibits transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels.

Fibrosis is a pathological condition characterized by excessive tissue deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, leading to scarring and impaired function across multiple organ systems. This complex process is mediated by a dynamic interplay between cell types, including myofibroblasts, fibroblasts, immune cells, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells, each contributing distinctively through various signaling pathways. Critical to the regulatory mechanisms involved in fibrosis is store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), a calcium entry pathway into the cytosol active at the endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites and common to all cells.

Background: Secretion of saliva is controlled by autonomic nerve signals via regulation of Ca-dependent ion transport across acinar cell membranes. Oxidative stress may affect this process, leading to a decrease in saliva production. This study investigates elements of the Ca regulatory pathway and their vulnerability to hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress.
