Calcium ions are ubiquitous and versatile signaling molecules, capable of decoding a
variety of extracellular stimuli (hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors, etc.) into …

Ca2+ regulates a multitude of cellular processes and does so by partitioning its actions in
space and time. In this review, we discuss how Ca2+ responses are constructed from small …

Calcium (Ca2+) is a ubiquitous intracellular messenger, controlling a diverse range of
cellular processes, such as gene transcription, muscle contraction and cell proliferation. The …

In eukaryotic cells, a rise in cytoplasmic Ca2+ can activate a plethora of responses that
operate on time scales ranging from milliseconds to days. Inherent to the use of a …

Microdomains of Ca2+, which are formed at sites where Ca2+ enters the cytoplasm either at
the cell surface or at the internal stores, are a key element of Ca2+ signalling. The term …

Ionized calcium (Ca2+) is the most versatile cellular messenger. All cells use Ca2+ signals
to regulate their activities in response to extrinsic and intrinsic stimuli. Alterations in cellular …

Ca 2+ is a highly versatile intracellular signal that operates over a wide temporal range to
regulate many different cellular processes. An extensive Ca 2+-signalling toolkit is used to …

Calcium (Ca2+) is an almost universal intracellular messenger, controlling a diverse range
of cellular processes, such as gene transcription (see Mellström and Naranjo, this issue) …

Ca 2+ is a uniquely important messenger that penetrates into cells through gated channels
to transmit signals to a large number of enzymes. The evolutionary choice of Ca 2+ was …

Ca 2+ is a ubiquitous intracellular messenger that controls diverse cellular functions but can
become toxic and cause cell death. Selective control of specific targets depends on …
