Optimal intracellular calcium signaling [PDF]
In many cell types, calcium is released from internal stores through calcium release channels upon external stimulation (e.g., pressure or receptor binding), These channels are clustered with a typical cluster size of about 20 channels, generating ...

A first-passage approach to diffusion-influenced reversible binding: insights into nanoscale signaling at the presynapse [PDF]
Synaptic transmission between neurons is governed by a cascade of stochastic reaction-diffusion events that lead to calcium-induced vesicle release of neurotransmitter. Since experimental measurements of such systems are challenging due their nanometer and sub-millisecond scale, numerical simulations remain the principal tool for studying calcium ...

Vacuolar calcium channels [PDF]
The central vacuole is the largest Ca2+ store in a mature plant cell. Ca2+ release from this store contributes to Ca2+-mediated intracellular signalling in a variety of physiological responses. However, the routes for vacuolar Ca2+ release are not well characterized.

Tonic activation of extrasynaptic NMDA receptors decreases intrinsic excitability and promotes bistability in a model of neuronal activity [PDF]
NMDA receptors (NMDA-R) typically contribute to excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. While calcium influx through NMDA-R plays a critical role in synaptic plasticity, experimental evidence indicates that NMDAR-mediated calcium influx also modifies neuronal excitability through the activation of calcium-activated potassium ...

Inhibition of synaptic transmission and G protein modulation by synthetic CaV2.2 Ca2+ channel peptides [PDF]
: Modulation of presynaptic voltage-dependent Ca+ channels is a major means of controlling neurotransmitter release. The CaV 2.2 Ca2+ channel subunit contains several inhibitory interaction sites for Gβγ subunits, including the amino terminal (NT) and I ...

Host Calcium Channels and Pumps in Viral Infections
Ca2+ is essential for virus entry, viral gene replication, virion maturation, and release. The alteration of host cells Ca2+ homeostasis is one of the strategies that viruses use to modulate host cells signal transduction mechanisms in their favor.
