Ca2+ is a universal signalling molecule involved in regulating cell cycle and fate,
metabolism and structural integrity, motility and volume. Like other cells, red blood cells …

Abstract Free Calcium (Ca 2+) is an important and universal signalling entity in all cells, red
blood cells included. Although mature mammalian red blood cells are believed to not …

Calcium entry into mature erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) is associated with multiple
changes in cell properties. At low intracellular Ca2+, efflux of potassium and water …

Alterations in the cytosolic concentration of calcium ions (Ca2+) transmit information that is
crucial for the development and function of B cells. Cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is …

Ca 2+ is a universal carrier of biological information: it controls cell life from its origin at
fertilization to its end in the process of programmed cell death. Ca 2+ is a conventional …

C, alcium ions are key second messengers in eukaryotic ceils. A requirement for Ca'+ during
muscle contraction wias first observed over 100 years ago, but only in the last 20 years lhas …

Increase in intracellular levels of calcium ions (Ca 2+) is one of the key triggering signals for
the development of B cell response to the antigen. The diverse Ca 2+ signals finely …

The modulation of intracellular calcium ion concentration,[Ca2+] i, is a common signalling
mechanism used in many biological systems. B and T lymphocytes rely on Ca2+ signalling …

Human red blood cells (RBC) are highly differentiated cells that have lost all organelles and
most intracellular machineries during their maturation process. RBC are fundamental for the …

Ca2+ signaling pathways are well studied in cardiac myocytes, but not in cardiac fibroblasts.
The aim of the present study is to characterize Ca2+ signaling pathways in cultured human …
