Mechanisms of Calcium Wave Initiation and Propagation in Astrocytes
<p>Glial cells display propagated waves of cytoplasmic calcium (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) mobilization that spread outward from an initiating cell to involve hundreds to thousands of surrounding cells. This intercellular communication system is thought to initiate and coordinate Ca<sup>2+</sup> dependent …

Investigating the calcium wave and actin dynamics at Drosophila egg activation
… amenable for imaging. Through visualisation of calcium, Processing bodies and meiotic spindles, I show that osmotic pressure acts as an initiation cue for the calcium wave and downstream processes, including the resumption of cell cycle and the dispersion of the translational repression sites. I …

A quantitative study of neuronal calcium signaling
… by transmembrane voltage changes, while calcium levels within the cell communicate information on a much slower time scale. Calcium acts as a second messenger responsible for modulating neuronal excitability in many ways including the mediation of gene transcription in the cell and the …

Calcium and actin coordinate egg activation and the metaphase-anaphase transition in Drosophila oocytes
… Preceding these events in Drosophila is a single calcium transient observed in the form of a polar wave upon hydration and swelling of the oocyte. A model outlining how the initiation of such a wave is regulated and how it then enacts these downstream effects is not yet fully outlined. The …
