A rare ORAI1 missense variant associates with risk of vascular diseases in White British adults Open
Background Pathological remodelling of native vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) within the arterial wall is a key contributor to vascular disease. A driver of this remodelling is platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) and its signal…

Side-by-side comparison of published small molecule inhibitors against thapsigargin-induced store-operated Ca2+ entry in HEK293 cells Open
Calcium (Ca 2+ ) is a key second messenger in eukaryotes, with store-operated Ca 2+ entry (SOCE) being the main source of Ca 2+ influx into non-excitable cells. ORAI1 is a highly Ca 2+ -selective plasma membrane channel that encodes SOCE. …
