Calcium Channels: Critical Targets of Toxicants and Diseases.
|
The structure and regulation of voltage-dependent calcium channels and their role in inherited and toxicant-induced neurologic disorders was the topic of a conference sponsored and hosted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Sibia Neurosciences, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association on 6-8 December 1999. The conference, "Calcium Channels: Critical Targets of Toxicants and Diseases," brought together experts in a variety of disciplines to discuss our current knowledge of calcium channel structure and function, ...
