Convergence of Calcium Channel Regulation and Mechanotransduction in Skeletal Regenerative Biomaterial Design. [PDF]
Cells are known to perceive their microenvironment through extracellular and intracellular mechanical signals. Upon sensing mechanical stimuli, cells can initiate various downstream signaling pathways that are vital to regulating proliferation, growth ...

Presynaptic calcium channels [PDF]
Presynaptic Ca2+ entry occurs through voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channels which are activated by membrane depolarization. Depolarization accompanies neuronal firing and elevation of Ca2+ triggers neurotransmitter release from synaptic vesicles. For synchronization of efficient neurotransmitter release, synaptic vesicles are targeted by presynaptic Ca2 ...

Ammonia-induced Calcium Phosphate Nanostructure: A Potential Assay for Studying Osteoporosis and Bone Metastasis [PDF]
Osteoclastic resorption of bone plays a central role in both osteoporosis and bone metastasis. A reliable in vitro assay that simulates osteoclastic resorption in vivo would significantly speed up the process of devel-oping effective therapeutic solutions for those diseases. Here we reported the development of a novel and robust nano-structured calcium

Ion Channels of Pituitary Gonadotrophs and Their Roles in Signaling and Secretion
Gonadotrophs are basophilic cells of the anterior pituitary gland specialized to secrete gonadotropins in response to elevation in intracellular calcium concentration.

Calcium oscillation on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks of ryanodine receptor [PDF]
Calcium oscillation is an important calcium homeostasis, imbalance of which is the key mechanism of initiation and progression of many major diseases. The formation and maintenance of calcium homeostasis are closely related to the spatial distribution of calcium channels.

Cav3.2 calcium channel interactions with the epithelial sodium channel ENaC
This study describes the functional interaction between Cav3.2 calcium channels and the Epithelial Sodium Channel (ENaC). β-ENaC subunits showed overlapping expression with endogenous Cav3.2 calcium channels in the thalamus and hypothalamus as detected ...

SLO BK Potassium Channels Couple Gap Junctions to Inhibition of Calcium Signaling in Olfactory Neuron Diversification. [PDF]
The C. elegans AWC olfactory neuron pair communicates to specify asymmetric subtypes AWCOFF and AWCON in a stochastic manner. Intercellular communication between AWC and other neurons in a transient NSY-5 gap junction network antagonizes voltage ...

Regulation of store-operated calcium entry [PDF]
Plasma membrane calcium influx through ion channels is crucial for many events in cellular physiology. Cell surface stimuli lead to the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which binds to IP3 receptors in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to release calcium pools from the ER lumen.
