A tale of two inositol trisphosphates. [PDF]
Between spring 1982 and autumn 1984 the physiological role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 as a calcium-mobilizing second messenger was first suggested and then experimentally established.

Abdominal Visceral Adipose Tissue and All-Cause Mortality: A Systematic Review
IntroductionIncreased abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) implies an adverse cardio-metabolic profile. We examined the association of abdominal VAT parameters and all-cause mortality risk.MethodsWe systematically searched four databases. We performed

Acute hypocalcemia and metabolic alkalosis in children on cation-exchange resin therapy [PDF]
Background. Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) is a chelating agent used for the treatment of hyperkalemia. SPS has a wide range of exchange capacity requiring close monitoring of serum electrolytes.

Modeling of biological doses and mechanical effects on bone transduction [PDF]
Shear stress, hormones like parathyroid and mineral elements like calcium mediate the amplitude of stimulus signal which affects the rate of bone remodeling. The current study investigates the theoretical effects of different metabolic doses in stimulus signal level on bone.

Genetic variants of calcium and vitamin D metabolism in kidney stone disease
Kidney stone disease (nephrolithiasis) is a major clinical and economic health burden with a heritability of ~45–60%. We present genome-wide association studies in British and Japanese populations and a trans-ethnic meta-analysis that include 12,123 ...

Nonequilibrium calcium dynamics optimizes the energetic efficiency of mitochondrial metabolism [PDF]
Living organisms continuously harness energy to perform complex functions for their adaptation and survival while part of that energy is dissipated in the form of heat or chemical waste. Determining the energetic cost and the efficiency of specific cellular processes remains a largely open problem.

Glutamate regulation of calcium and IP3 oscillating and pulsating dynamics in astrocytes [PDF]
Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in neuron-glia communication. This interest stems from the realization that glia participates in cognitive functions and information processing and is involved in many brain disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

An Age-dependent Feedback Control Model for Calcium and Reactive Oxygen Species in Yeast Cells [PDF]
Calcium and reactive oxygen species (ROS) interact with each other and play an important role in cell signaling networks. Based on the existing mathematical models, we develop an age-dependent feedback control model to simulate the interaction. The model consists of three subsystems: cytosolic calcium dynamics, ROS generation from the respiratory chain
