Calcium is shown to have several roles in the adhesion of embryonic sea urchin cells. Using an assay that subdivides a cell interaction into sequential steps it is shown that Ca 2+ has distinct roles in at least two separate steps. The initial binding step between blastomeres is Ca 2+-sens...
It was found recently that during MTB infection, increase in calcium influx or release of calcium from intracellular calcium pool activates the intracellular calcium-signaling pathway, thereby activating the gene expression of anti-infection and immune-protective proteins in immune cells, especially macroph...

Tricalcium silicate (TCS)-based materials produce calcium hydroxide as a byproduct of their hydration reaction. The present study investigated whether calcium ion release (CIR) affects their biological and antimicrobial properties when used as pulp prote
There is growing interest in the possibility that calcium (Ca) serves as a second messenger in the response of plant cells to hormones and environmental stimuli [5, 11, 22]. Some studies indicate that cytoplasmic Ca levels in plant cells may be controlled by the inositol trisphosphate pathway ...
The role of cytosolic calcium ions in the control of membrane permeability by vasopressin, the main features of the cellular action of the hormone, including the role of the cytoskeleton, will first be summarised. Evidence that changes in cytosolic calcium can influence apical membrane water and so...
Cadherins are transmembrane, calcium-dependent adhesive molecules that mechanically connect the actin cytoskeleton of one cell to the actin cytoskeleton of its neighboring cells1, 2. Additionally, cadherins signal into the cytosol when their extracellular domains interact with other transmembrane proteins,...
