Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to cope with environmental stressors including drought, nutrient deficiency, and extreme temperatures. Central to these adaptive responses is calcium ...

To acquire an image of calcium signaling, Reto Fiolka, a cell biologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, illuminated primary cortical neurons from embryonic rats with three ...

Glycine, a non-essential amino acid derived from serine, plays an increasingly recognized role in metabolic regulation.

Taking Vitamin C and calcium together improves gut calcium absorption and may also enhance bone and immune system health.

A new method exposes key details of the mechanism behind calcium signaling in prokaryotes for the first time. Working in a Listeria monocytogenes model, researchers from Umeå University (Sweden) led ...

Uncovering the mechanisms behind plant defense signaling can improve strategies to protect crops against disease.

Left: A blue light pulse of 0.1 seconds triggers a calcium signal (red) in guard cells, which is followed by an anion current (black). Right: The influx of calcium into the cell promotes the release ...
