Impacts of Spike Shape Variations on Synaptic Communication.
Understanding the communication theoretical capabilities of information transmission among neurons, known as neuro-spike communication, is a significant step in developing bio-inspired solutions for nanonetworking. In this...

All three IP3 receptor subtypes generate Ca2+ puffs, the universal building blocks of IP3-evoked Ca2+ signals.
All three subtypes of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) are intracellular Ca2+ channels that are co-regulated by IP3 and Ca2+ This allows IP3Rs to evoke regenerative Ca2+ signals, the smallest of which are Ca2+ puffs...

Decoding the intensity of sensory input by two glutamate receptors in one C. elegans interneuron.
How neurons are capable of decoding stimulus intensity and translate this information into complex behavioral outputs is poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that the C. elegans interneuron AIB regulates two types of behaviors...

Nuclear calcium signatures are associated with root development.
In plants, nuclear Ca2+ releases are essential to the establishment of nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-delivering arbuscular mycorrhizal endosymbioses. In the legume Medicago truncatula, these nuclear Ca2+ signals are generated by...

P2X4 Receptors Mediate Ca2+ Release from Lysosomes in Response to Stimulation of P2X7 and H1 Histamine Receptors.
The P2X4 purinergic receptor is targeted to endolysosomes, where it mediates an inward current dependent on luminal ATP and pH. Activation of P2X4 receptors was previously shown to trigger lysosome fusion, but the regulation of...

Bcl-2 Family of Proteins in the Control of Mitochondrial Calcium Signalling
Bcl-2 family proteins are considered as one of the major regulators of apoptosis. Indeed, this family is known to control the mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP): a central step in the mitochondrial pathway of...

Absence of platelet phenotype in mice lacking the motor protein myosin Va.
BACKGROUND: The motor protein myosin Va plays an important role in the trafficking of intracellular vesicles. Mutation of the Myo5a gene causes Griscelli syndrome type 1 in humans and the dilute phenotype in mice, which are both...

Iron availability modulates the Arabidopsis thaliana root calcium signature evoked by exogenous ATP.
Plants use changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ ("signatures") to encode information from the specific signals generated in development, immunity and stress perception. Phosphate availability has a significant impact on the...

Single-Molecule Light-Sheet Imaging of Suspended T Cells.
Adaptive immune responses are initiated by triggering of the T cell receptor. Single-molecule imaging based on total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy at coverslip/basal cell interfaces is commonly used to study this...

A plastid two-pore channel essential for inter-organelle communication and growth of Toxoplasma gondii.
Two-pore channels (TPCs) are a ubiquitous family of cation channels that localize to acidic organelles in animals and plants to regulate numerous Ca2+-dependent events. Little is known about TPCs in unicellular organisms despite...

Ca2+ signals initiate at immobile IP3 receptors adjacent to ER-plasma membrane junctions.
IP3 receptors (IP3Rs) release Ca2+ from the ER when they bind IP3 and Ca2+. The spatial organization of IP3Rs determines both the propagation of Ca2+ signals between IP3Rs and the selective regulation of cellular responses. Here...
