Ca2+-release channels are giant membrane proteins that control the release of Ca2+ from
the endoplasmic and sarcoplasmic reticulum. The two members, ryanodine receptors …

Abstract Calcium (Ca 2+) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are versatile signaling
molecules coordinating physiological and pathophysiological processes. While channels …

The endomembrane system consists of organellar membranes in the biosynthetic pathway
[endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, and secretory vesicles] as well as those in the …

Regulation of IP3 receptors (IP3Rs) by IP3 and Ca2+ allows regenerative Ca2+ signals, the
smallest being Ca2+ puffs, which arise from coordinated openings of a few clustered IP3Rs …

Abstract Inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+
channels whose biphasic dependence on cytosolic Ca2+ gives rise to Ca2+ oscillations that …

In the last few years, metabolism has been shown to be controlled by cross-organelle
communication. The relationship between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria …

Complexity and limited knowledge render it impractical to write down the equations
describing a cellular system completely. Cellular biophysics uses hypotheses-based …

There have been in the last three decades repeated publications indicating that the inositol
1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor (IP 3 R) is regulated not only by cytosolic Ca 2+ but also by …

Legumes establish endosymbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi or rhizobia
bacteria to improve mineral nutrition. Symbionts are hosted in privileged habitats, root cortex …

Endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites (ER-PM MCS) are a specialised
domain involved in the control of Ca 2+ dynamics and various Ca 2+-dependent cellular …
