What are the Pathological Implications of Calcium Signaling Dysregulation?
Dysregulation of calcium signaling can lead to various diseases. For instance, excessive calcium influx can cause neuronal cell death, contributing to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. Abnormal calcium signaling in muscle cells can result in conditions such as cardiomyopathies and muscular dystrophies. Therefore, understanding calcium signaling is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
