Cytoplasmic Calcium Buffering: An Integrative Crosstalk
Calcium (Ca2+) buffering is part of an integrative crosstalk between different mechanisms and elements involved in the control of free Ca2+ ions... -
Effect of disturbances in neuronal calcium and IP3 dynamics on β-amyloid production and degradation
Overproduction and accumulation of β-amyloid and its improper clearance can cause neurotoxicity leading to Alzheimer’s disease. The production and...
