The biology behind muscle pain: calcium chaos, microscopic damage, and the overlooked mechanism that explains how statins can ...

New mechanism found: Researchers discovered that statins can bind to and activate ryanodine receptors in muscle cells, potentially explaining muscle pain in some patients. Why it matters: Uncovering ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...
