Vascular Calcification and Stone Disease: A New Look towards the Mechanism

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2015
Calcium phosphate (CaP) crystals are formed in pathological calcification as well as during stone formation. Although there are several theories as to how these crystals can develop through the combined interactions of biochemical and biophysical factors,

New Clues on the Calcium Underabundance in Early-Type Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 343 (2003) 279, 2003
We use our new stellar population models, which include effects from variable element abundance ratios, to model the Ca4227 absorption line indices of early-type galaxies (Trager et al.), and to derive calcium element abundances. We find that calcium, although being an alpha-element, is depressed with respect to the other alpha-elements by up to a ...

Caged calcium in Aplysia pacemaker neurons. Characterization of calcium-activated potassium and nonspecific cation currents. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
We have studied calcium-activated potassium current, IK(Ca), and calcium-activated nonspecific cation current, INS(Ca), in Aplysia bursting pacemaker neurons, using photolysis of a calcium chelator (nitr-5 or nitr-7) to release caged calcium ...

Formations of calcium carbonate minerals by bacteria and its multiple applications

open access: yesSpringerPlus, 2016
Biomineralization is a naturally occurring process in living organisms. In this review, we discuss microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) in detail.

The [2Fe‐2S] cluster of mitochondrial outer membrane protein mitoNEET has an O2‐regulated nitric oxide access tunnel

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The mitochondrial outer membrane iron–sulphur ([Fe‐S]) protein mitoNEET is a target of the type‐2 diabetes drug pioglitazone. Its unknown molecular function is linked to respiratory complex activity and mitochondrial function. We discovered that O2 protects the mitoNEET [2Fe‐2S] cluster against NO oxidation and desensitization towards reduction by H2S.

Calcium Phosphate Cement Leakage During Balloon Kyphoplasty Causing Incomplete Paraplegia: Case Report and Review of the Literature

open access: yesJournal of Orthopedic and Spine Trauma, 2016
Introduction: Bone cement leakage is the most common, however, it can have potentially disastrous complications during vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty (BK).

Imaging mitochondrial calcium dynamics in the central nervous system [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience Methods, 2022, 373, pp.109560
Mitochondrial calcium handling is a particularly active research area in the neuroscience field, as it plays key roles in the regulation of several functions of the central nervous system, such as synaptic transmission and plasticity, astrocyte calcium signaling, neuronal activity{\ldots} In the last few decades, a panel of techniques have been ...

Evolutionary Covariant Positions within Calmodulin EF-hand Sequences Promote Ligand Binding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Intracellular calcium signaling is an essential regulatory mechanism through calcium-mediated signal transduction pathways involved in many cell processes, such as exocytosis, motility, apoptosis, excitability, transcription, and muscle contraction.
