Cadmium induces transcription independently of intracellular calcium mobilization.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundExposure to cadmium is associated with human pathologies and altered gene expression. The molecular mechanisms by which cadmium affects transcription remain unclear.

Leptin-Induced Endothelium-Independent Vasoconstriction in Thoracic Aorta and Pulmonary Artery of Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats: Role of Calcium Channels and Stores. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Decreased leptin-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation has been reported in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Here, we report leptin-induced vasoconstriction in endothelium-denuded pulmonary artery and thoracic aorta from SHR and sought to ...

Src Dependent Pancreatic Acinar Injury Can Be Initiated Independent of an Increase in Cytosolic Calcium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Several deleterious intra-acinar phenomena are simultaneously triggered on initiating acute pancreatitis. These culminate in acinar injury or inflammatory mediator generation in vitro and parenchymal damage in vivo. Supraphysiologic caerulein is one such

Control of Intracellular Calcium Signaling as a Neuroprotective Strategy

open access: yesMolecules, 2010
Both acute and chronic degenerative diseases of the nervous system reduce the viability and function of neurons through changes in intracellular calcium signaling.

Glucose metabolism and oscillatory behavior of pancreatic islets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A variety of oscillations are observed in pancreatic islets.We establish a model, incorporating two oscillatory systems of different time scales: One is the well-known bursting model in pancreatic beta-cells and the other is the glucose-insulin feedback ...

Calcium spiking patterns and the role of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase CCaMK in lateral root base nodulation of Sesbania rostrata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Nodulation factor (NF) signal transduction in the legume-rhizobium symbiosis involves calcium oscillations that are instrumental in eliciting nodulation.

Translating intracellular calcium signaling into models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The rich experimental data on intracellular calcium has put theoreticians in an ideal position to derive models of intracellular calcium signaling. Over the last 25 years, a large number of modeling frameworks have been suggested.

Glucose and glycogen affects Ca2+ transient during fatigue to a greater extent in the least than in the most fatigue resistant mouse FDB fibers

open access: yesPhysiological Reports
The overall objective was to determine how no extracellular glucose and/or low glycogen content affect fatigue kinetics in mouse flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) single muscle fibers.

Numerical analysis of arterial contraction regulated by smooth muscle stretch and intracellular calcium ion concentration

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2014
In this study, for a better understanding of arterial functions, we examine the effects of active stresses, which are generated by contractile units included in smooth muscle cells, on the stress distribution in the arterial wall.

TMEM203 Is a Novel Regulator of Intracellular Calcium Homeostasis and Is Required for Spermatogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Intracellular calcium signaling is critical for initiating and sustaining diverse cellular functions including transcription, synaptic signaling, muscle contraction, apoptosis and fertilization.
