Calcium signalling is activated by calcium ions that are released from intracellular stores, or enter the cell via plasma membrane ion channels. Calcium is an important second messenger that ...
and to calcium ionophores and phorbol esters, which in combination elicited a full 'T cell–activation' response but individually could be used to distinguish signaling pathways activated by ...
Using a calcium indicator, the team uncovered novel cellular behaviors tied to electrical signaling, shedding light on how early multicellular organisms sensed and responded to environmental stimuli.
Researchers revealed that the rotavirus NSP4 protein drives disease severity by disrupting calcium signaling in infected and nearby cells. These disruptions worsen symptoms and trigger immune ...
Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.
In this study, which appears in Nature, experiments showed that the gene mutation in a calcium signaling pathway enhances endosymbiosis in farming conditions. Excitingly, the team used genetic ...
