Calcium channels in glioma

Calcium channels express abnormally in glioma,and play a key role in the physiological functions of glioma such as tumorigenesis,proliferation,metastasis and angiogenesis. Researches show that low or high expressions of different types of calcium channels have influence on the development of glioma and cell-cycle redistribution. Such calcium channels may represent new targets in treating glioma,which provide new ideas for controlling glioma. Key words: Glioma; Calcium channels; Calcium channel blockers
