Calcium signalling: more messengers, more channels, more complexity

Curr Biol. 2002 Aug 20;12(16):R563-5. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(02)01055-2.

Abstract

Recent studies have expanded the number of channel types and messengers that lead to Ca(2+) signals within cells. Furthermore, we are beginning to understand the complex interplay between different sources of Ca(2+).
