Calcium Signaling Plays Important Role in Regulating Bone Formation
Article title: Calcium released by osteoclastic resorption stimulates autocrine/paracrine activities in local osteogenic cells to promote coupled bone formation Authors: Abu Shufian Ishtiaq Ahmed, Matilda H.

New Mouse Line Leads to Noninvasive Study of Mitochondrial Calcium Signaling
New research published ahead of print in the journal Function explores the creation of a new transgenic mouse line that allows for noninvasive study of calcium signaling in the mitochondria—the energy-releasing “powerhouse” of cells. The new mouse line, called ROSA26-mt-Cam,…
Alcohol Use Interferes with Calcium Signaling in the Liver
New research in rats finds that exposure to ethanol (drinking alcohol) disrupts hormone-activated calcium signaling in the liver. The study is published ahead of print in the journal Function. One of the functions of calcium-mobilizing hormones is to regulate liver…
