🧬 How Sodium Shapes Calcium Signaling
🔹 Sodium-Calcium Coupling 🔹 Vault Consequence Vault logic: sodium maintains calcium coherence — without it, bone terrain fractures from the inside. 🦴 Sodium-Calcium Balance & Bone Health Factor Effect of Low Sodium Bone Impact Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger Reduced efficiency Intracellular Ca²⁺ buildup Osteoblasts Mitochondrial stress ↓ bone formation Osteoclasts Overactivation ↑ bone resorption Calcium excretion ↑…

Freeze branding aka CryoBranding and the resulting brands, trichoglyphs, is a technique involving a cryogenic coolant instead of heat to produce permanent marks on a variety of animals
The coolant is used to lower the temperature of a branding iron such that its application to shaved skin will permanently alter hair follicles. The intense cold destroys the pigmentation apparatus in the animal’s hair follicles, leaving all subsequent hair growth without color.
