The calcium-sensing receptor as a regulator of cellular fate in normal and pathological conditions [PDF]
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) belongs to the evolutionarily conserved family of plasma membrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Early studies identified an essential role for the CaSR in systemic calcium homeostasis through its ability to ...

Broad iron emission line and kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations in the neutron star system 4U 1636-53 [PDF]
Both the broad iron (Fe) line and the frequency of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) can potentially provide independent measures of the inner radius of the accretion disc.
