    GlossaryCalcium Currents

    movement of calcium ions through cell membrane channels

    Calcium currents refer to the movement of calcium ions (Ca²⁺) through calcium channels in the cell membrane. These currents play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and gene expression. In the context of hair biology, calcium currents can influence hair follicle cycling and growth by affecting cellular signaling pathways.
