    Occurrence of chemical pollutants in major e-waste sites in West Africa and usefulness of cytotoxicity and induction of ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) in determining the effects of some detected brominated flame retardants and e-waste soil-derived extracts

    We investigated the occurrence of chemical pollutants in major e-waste sites in West Africa and usefulness of cytotoxicity and induction of ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) in determining the effects of some d...

    Neferine induces autophagy-dependent cell death in apoptosis-resistant cancers via ryanodine receptor and Ca2+-dependent mechanism

    Resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy is a significant clinical concern and mechanisms regulating cell death in cancer therapy, including apoptosis, autophagy or necrosis, have been extensively investigat...

    (Z)3,4,5,4′-trans-tetramethoxystilbene, a new analogue of resveratrol, inhibits gefitinb-resistant non-small cell lung cancer via selectively elevating intracellular calcium level

    Calcium is a second messenger which is required for regulation of many cellular processes. However, excessive elevation or prolonged activation of calcium signaling would lead to cell death. As such, selective...

    Commonly used ryanodine receptor activator, 4-chloro-m-cresol (4CmC), is also an inhibitor of SERCA Ca2+ pumps

    4-Chloro-m-cresol (4CmC) is an extensively used activator of ryanodine receptors (RyRs). Studies have shown that 4CmC, at a concentration of 1 mM, is sufficient to cause Ca2+ release through RyRs. Here, we show t...

    Enzymatic method for assaying calcium in serum with Ca++-ATPase

    A kinetic assay for total calcium in serum was developed which is based on the activation of Ca++-ATPase by free Ca++ [Ca++]f maintained by EGTA in the reaction mixture. The concentration of Caf++ was dependent o...

    Measuring calcium uptake and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced calcium release in cerebellum microsomes using Fluo-3

    A simple fluorimetric method is presented for measuring calcium uptake and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced calcium release in microsomes using Fluo-3. This method is used to investigate the amplitude...
