Genetic Mechanisms Driving Predisposition to Childhood Kidney Cancer Uncovered
Wilms tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is a rare kidney cancer that mainly affects children. The average age of diagnosis of Wilms tumor in children depends upon whether one or both kidneys are affected. If one kidney is affected, unilateral Wilms tumor, the age at diagnosis usually is 42–47 months….

A dual-targeted drug inhibits cardiac ryanodine receptor Ca2+ leak but activates SERCA2a Ca2+ uptake
Introduction During each heartbeat, the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) cycles dynamically between low resting diastolic and high active systolic levels within cardiomyocytes (Bers, 2002; Eisner et al, 2017; Sankaranarayanan et al, 2017): upon electrical excitation, Ca2+ influx via voltage-gated CaV1.2 channels activates Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release via SR ryanodine receptor type…
