Action potentials evoke calcium transients in dendrites of neocortical pyramidal neurons with time constants of < 100 ms at physiological temperature. This time period may not be sufficient for inflowing calcium ions to equilibrate with all present Ca2+-bi ...
Application of acetylcholine to Xenopus oocytes evoked increases in the cytosolic free calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) after latencies of up to several seconds depending on the agonist dose. Higher acetylcholine concentrations evoked responses with lar ...
Many hormones, growth factors and neurotransmitters stimulate the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate evoking the release of calcium from intracellular stores. The depletion of these intracellular calcium stores subsequently activates a voltage-inde ...
Spontaneous low frequency diameter oscillations have been observed in vivo in some muscular arteries. The aim of this paper is to propose a possible mechanism for their appearance. A lumped parameter mathematical model for the mechanical response of an art ...
Depletion of intracellular calcium stores activates the plasma membrane capacitative calcium entry pathway in many cell types. The nature of the signal that couples the depletion of the intracellular calcium stores to the activation of the plasma membrane ...
Capacitative Ca2+ entry produces the very rapid light response in Drosophila photoreceptors; studies using this amenable system may help unravel the machinery and mechanisms that underlie this Ca2+-entry pathway. ...
Capacitative calcium entry is a major pathway through which intracellular calcium stores are refilled after stimulation. It has been suggested that the protein encoded by the transient receptor potential (trp) gene expressed in Drosophila photoreceptors ma ...
The regulation of cytosolic-free calcium concentration of smooth-muscle and endothelial cells was mainly studied on cultured cells where the cross talk between these two coupled cell types is lost. In the present study, the cytosolic-free calcium concentra ...
We tested the hypothesis that the cytosolic free calcium concentration in endothelial cells is under the influence of the smooth muscle cells in the coronary circulation. In the left descending branch of porcine coronary arteries, cytosolic free calcium co ...
A model of Ca2+ dynamics in spines of CA1 hippocampal neurons is presented. In contrast to traditional models, which concentrate on the effects of Ca2+ influx, diffusion, buffering, and extrusion, we also consider the additional effect of intracellular ...
