By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

A new role of calcium in the development of muscles has been reported by two RIKEN biologists. Stress is generally damaging and destructive, but it can sometimes spur productivity and creation.

This video shows a simulation created with SMART that showcases the calcium release dynamics within heart cells. This process is essential for heart muscles to contract. Emmet Francis, Ph.D., an ...

Research in our lab focuses on understanding how these calcium dynamics are regulated in normal and diseased hearts, and how abnormal intracellular calcium release may contribute to the development of ...

We have shown that intrinsic excitability changes after induction of synaptic plasticity. We have shown that intracellular calcium dynamics also changes after induction of synaptic plasticity. We ...

A research team at Tohoku University has used microfluidic devices to reveal how directional connections shape the complex dynamics of neuronal ... Using calcium imaging to record spontaneous ...
