Core Tip
Core Tip: There are several reviews in the literature on diabetes and inflammatory diseases. Nonetheless, to my knowledge, this is the first review which clearly discusses the role of Ca2+/3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling in the link between diabetes and inflammatory diseases. This article also includes a timeline of the major events in Ca2+/cAMP signaling, and discusses recent reports on the role of Ca2+ channel blockers for preventing Ca2+ signaling disruption due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), including the correlation between COVID-19 and diabetes.
