|July 1, 1988
Summary
Magnesium research has evolved significantly since the 18th century, with key developments in understanding its physiological and clinical roles. Modern research, spurred by international collaboration since 1971, now explores magnesium
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry and Physiology
- Pharmacology
- Pathology
Background:
- Historical development of chemical and pharmacological knowledge from the 18th century.
- Recognition of magnesium's essential role in 1926.
- Foundation of physiological, epidemiological, and clinical knowledge up to the 1960s.
Observation:
- The modern era of magnesium research began in 1971.
- Establishment of the International Society for the Development of Research on Magnesium (SDRM).
- Held the Fifth International Symposium in Kyoto in August 1988.
Findings:
- Magnesium research actively contributes to basic sciences.
- Current research encompasses all aspects of pathology.
