Orai1–STIM1 Regulates Increased Ca<sup>2+</sup> Mobilization, Leading to Contractile Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Phenotypes in Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Ca<sup>2+</sup> overload is one of the factors leading to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) pathogenesis. However, the molecular targets of dystrophin deficiency-dependent Ca<sup>2+</sup> overload and the correlation between Ca<sup>2+</sup> overload and contractil...
