Ca2+ signals are a core regulator of plant cell physiology and cellular responses to the
environment. The channels, pumps, and carriers that underlie Ca2+ homeostasis provide …

In recent years research suggests that astrocyte networks, in addition to nutrient and waste
processing functions, regulate both structural and synaptic plasticity. To understand the …

Oscillations of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration are a widespread mode of signalling. Oscillatory
spikes rely on repetitive exchanges of Ca2+ between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and …

Abstract Calcium (Ca 2+) buffering is part of an integrative crosstalk between different
mechanisms and elements involved in the control of free Ca 2+ ions persistence in the …

Calcium oscillations have a significant importance in gesturing messengers for a wide
variety of cells because cells exhibit calcium oscillations in response to external stimulation …

In computational neuroscience integrate-and-fire models capture the spike generation by a
subthreshold dynamics supplemented by a simple fire-and-reset rule; they allow for a …

Exploring their role in the physiology of development and wound repair and
pathophysiologies such as cancer, this book describes the importance of biological electric …

Although Ca i 2+ waves in networks of astrocytes in vivo are well documented, propagation
in vivo is much more complex than in culture, and there is no consensus concerning the …

Abstract Inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate-induced Ca 2+ signaling is a second messenger
system used by almost all eukaryotic cells. The agonist concentration stimulating Ca 2+ …

The concentration of free cytosolic Ca2+ is a critical second messenger in almost every cell
type, with the signal often being carried by the period of oscillations, or spikes, in the …
