Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Mitochondria in intact cells can transiently accumulate calcium during cell stimulation. The heterogeneity of the response, the extremely high calcium concentrations reached in the mitochondrial ...

The effect of calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) on tumor cell proliferation has been studied in several human cancers, and great discrepancies were found in different tumors. However, the role of CaSR ...

Calcium is a ubiquitous second messenger, playing an essential role in all aspects of physiology, specifically in neurons and other excitable cells (Burgoyne, 2007). Calcium ions (Ca 2+) are ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Rotavirus protein NSP4 disrupts calcium signaling, influencing disease severity by affecting both infected and nearby uninfected cells. NSP4 alone can induce ...

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from published datasets were obtained to investigate the expression and dysregulation of ...

The researchers found that the ability of rotavirus to generate calcium waves was fully attributable to NSP4, such that expression of NSP4 in cells, even in the absence of rotavirus infection ...

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies against such pathogens ...

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 ...
