Nonlinear gap junctions enable long-distance propagation of pulsating calcium waves in astrocyte networks [PDF]
A new paradigm has recently emerged in brain science whereby communications between glial cells and neuron-glia interactions should be considered together with neurons and their networks to understand higher brain functions. In particular, astrocytes, the main type of glial cells in the cortex, have been shown to communicate with neurons and with each ...

Accelerated Bone Healing via Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation significantly impacts bone healing by enhancing osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and vascularization through calmodulin/calcineurin/NFAT signaling. It also boosts macrophage function and cell migration, presenting a comprehensive approach to accelerating bone repair.

A phenomenological cluster-based model of Ca2+ waves and oscillations for Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) channels [PDF]
Clusters of IP3 receptor channels in the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of many non-excitable cells release calcium ions in a cooperative manner giving rise to dynamical patterns such as Ca2+ puffs, waves, and oscillations that occur on multiple spatial and temporal scales. We introduce a minimal yet descriptive reaction-diffusion model of

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.

Topological Analysis of Metabolic Networks Integrating Co-Segregating Transcriptomes and Metabolomes in Type 2 Diabetic Rat Congenic Series [PDF]
Background: The genetic regulation of metabolic phenotypes (i.e., metabotypes) in type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by complex organ-specific cellular mechanisms contributing to impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance.

Anticancer Properties of Inositol Hexaphosphate and Inositol: An Overview
Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) and its parent compound myo-inositol (Ins) are active compounds from rice and other grains, with a broad spectrum of biological activities important in health and diseases. However, the most striking is the anticancer effect of IP6 and Ins that has been actively investigated during the last decades.

Inositol and inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate content of Down syndrome fibroblasts exhibiting enhanced inositol uptake [PDF]
Fibroblasts from individuals with Down syndrome (DS; trisomy 21) exhibit increased inositol uptake. Here we examine the relationship between this increase in uptake and mass levels of free inositol and inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate (IP3) in DS fibroblasts.
