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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 cell types show repetitive short lasting cytosolic calcium spikes with long interspike periods when stimulated with submaximal concentrations of agonists linked to the phosphoinositide signaling pathway. In pancreatic acinar cells these spikes have be ...
Agonist-specific cytosolic Ca2+ oscillation patterns can be observed in individual cells and these have been explained by the co-existence of separate oscillatory mechanisms. In pancreatic acinar cells activation of muscarinic receptors typically evokes si ...
An endothelial cell monolayer with a single mechanically lysed cell was used as a model to examine the extent, kinetics, and nature of local calcium mobilization in the neighborhood of a wound. Individual endothelial cells from confluent monolayers were me ...
The goal of the present study was to analyze the intercellular calcium communication between smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) by simultaneously monitoring artery diameter and intracellular calcium concentration in a rat mesenteric art ...
