Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The discovery of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and the development of calcimimetics have provided new insights into calcium homeostasis and new therapeutic opportunities for parathyroid-related disorders. However, the CaSR is also implicated in various other cellular processes, and the translational applications of calcimimetics may not be exclusively calcium-centric. Koleganova et al. describe a novel role for calcimimetics as vasculotropes, which provides the impetus for further studies to characterize their effects on vascular biology.
