A quad‐cistronic fluorescent biosensor system for real‐time detection of subcellular Ca2+ signals
Background and Purpose The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a versatile cellular messenger regulating a variety of biological processes. Compounds modulating subcellular Ca2+ signals hold substantial pharmacological potential. Advances in fluorescent biosensors have revolutionised Ca2+ imaging.

Carbachol increases intracellular free calcium concentrations in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
We investigated whether the stimulation of human granulosa-lutein cells with muscarinic and nicotinic receptor agonists can cause increases in intracellular free calcium (Ca2+), using Fura-2 microfluorimetry.

GCN2 in proteostasis: structural logic, signalling networks and disease
Threats to protein synthesis activate the kinase GCN2, initiating the integrated stress response (ISR). GCN2 is triggered by stalled ribosomes and uncharged tRNAs, which accumulate when amino acids are scarce. The ISR adjusts cellular physiology by promoting redox balance, protein quality control, and mitochondrial optimisation.

ABSTRACT In finfish aquaculture, there are several inflammatory diseases impacting productivity and animal welfare, however there are limited options available to veterinarians to treat inflammation and pain in fish. Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in terrestrial animals raised for human consumption to treat a range of ...

Ca2+-Stimulated Catecholamine Release from alpha-Toxin Permeabilized PC12 Cells [PDF]
Two possible cellular pathways of catecholamines from the chromaffin vesicles of PC 12 cells to the surrounding medium are explored in this study. The direct one circumventing the cytoplasm can be activated in a-toxin-permeabilized cells with micromolar ...

Abstract figure legend Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics, redox state, hydration and hematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice. Retained mitochondria in circulating RBCs from sickle mice are a source of RBC ATP as mitochondria function (ETC, electron transport chain) inhibitors [rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I

Ca2+‐Activated Cl− Channels: Do Bestrophins and TMEM16A Interact?
ABSTRACT Aim Ca2+‐activated Cl– conductances are present in many cell types and are important for regulating membrane potential as well as other cellular functions. TMEM16A is widely accepted as the principal molecular basis for Ca2+‐activated Cl– conductances, but also members of the bestrophin family may be important for some Ca2+‐activated Cl ...
