RyR2 calcium channels in the spotlight—I'm ready for my close up, Dr. Alzheimer!

While various hypotheses surrounding the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have waxed
and waned over the years, the calcium hypothesis of aging [1] has maintained its steady
trajectory since the early 1990′ s, albeit often as the understudy. Here, Yao et al.,[2] further
implicate intracellular calcium dysregulation in AD pathogenesis, and focus the spotlight on
the elusive ryanodine receptor-2 isoform.
