Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous Ca 2+ receptor protein mediating a large number of
signaling processes in all eukaryotic cells. CaM plays a central role in regulating a myriad of …

Potato is the world's fourth largest food crop. Due to limited arable land and an ever-
increasing demand for food from a growing population, it is critical to increase crop yields on …

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 …

Oscillations in the concentration of free cytosolic Ca2+ are an important and ubiquitous
control mechanism in many cell types. It is thus correspondingly important to understand the …

We set up a rigorous thermodynamic description of reaction-diffusion systems driven out of
equilibrium by time-dependent space-distributed chemostats. Building on the assumption of …

Dynamic processes in living cells are highly organized in space and time. Unraveling the
underlying molecular mechanisms of spatiotemporal pattern formation remains one of the …

Salivary fluid secretion involves an intricate choreography of membrane transporters to
result in the trans-epithelial movement of NaCl and water into the acinus lumen. Current …

The inositol trisphosphate receptor () is one of the most important cellular components
responsible for oscillations in the cytoplasmic calcium concentration. Over the past decade …

Calcium puffs are local transient Ca 2+ releases from internal Ca 2+ stores such as the
endoplasmic reticulum or the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Such release occurs through a cluster …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are mobilized either from the bone marrow and/or the
arterial to replace dysfunctional endothelial cells and rescue blood perfusion in ischemic …
