Fundamental properties of Orai3 in endothelial cells
Professor David Beech and colleagues at the University of Leeds will study a newly-discovered type of mechanism for entry of calcium into endothelial cells, cells that line the inside of blood vessels. The novel mechanism of calcium entry is through Orai channels and it is thought that these channels could play a key role in controlling the barrier between the blood and the wall of the blood vessels in disease.
