    Calcium Signalling

    In the furnaces of the stars, the elements evolved from hydrogen. Oxygen and neon captured successive a particles, and calcium (Ca2+) was born. Roughly 10 billion years later, cell membranes began to parse the world by charge, temporarily and locally defying relentless entropy. To adapt, cells must signal, and to signal a messenger must vary with time. Filling this role, Ca2+ and phosphate have come to rule cell signaling. Here, I briefly report our understanding of Ca2+ signaling, and attempt to complement excellent reviews on the topic (Berridge, 2005; Burgoyne, 2007; Carafoli, 2004; Petersen, 2005; Rizzuto and Pozzan, 2006).

    For an in-depth review, please read our recent publication:
    Calcium Signalling (adapted from Clapham, DE. Cell, 2007)
