Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) and RGS-like proteins are a family (> 30 members)
of highly diverse, multifunctional signaling proteins that bind directly to activated Gα …

A rise in cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration is used as a universal signalling mechanism to
control biological processes as diverse as exocytosis, contraction, cell growth and cell …

Signals transduced by kinases depend on the extent and duration of substrate
phosphorylation. We generated genetically encoded fluorescent reporters for PKC activity …

This review provides a comparative overview of recent developments in the modelling of
cellular calcium oscillations. A large variety of mathematical models have been developed …

The interactions between mathematics and physiology have a long and illustrious history, of
which the study of calcium signalling is but a small chapter. Nevertheless, for those involved …

Ca2+ is one of the most important messengers. It transmits signals inside living cells and
takes part in intercellular coordination. The dynamics of the Ca2+ concentration shows a …

Endocrine pituitary cells are neuronlike; they express numerous voltage-gated sodium,
calcium, potassium, and chloride channels and fire action potentials spontaneously …

Situated between the circulation and the brain, the blood–brain barrier (BBB) protects the
brain from circulating toxins while securing a specialized environment for neuro-glial …

Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in neuron–glia communication. This
interest stems from the realization that glia participate in cognitive functions and information …

Plants respond to pathogens and abiotic stresses by transient increases in the production of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ion fluxes, which activate both local programmed cell …
