Extracellular acidosis suppresses endothelial function by inhibiting store-operated Ca2+ entry via non-selective cation channels (2009)

Asai, Masayoshi, Takeuchi, Kazuhiko, Saotome, Masao, Urushida, Tsuyoshi, Katoh, Hideki, Satoh, Hiroshi, ...

Aims Hypoxia, ischaemia, and exogenous chemicals can induce extracellular and intracellular acidosis, but it is not clear which of these types of acidosis affects endothelial cell function. The...

Bidirectional Ca2+-dependent control of mitochondrial dynamics by the Miro GTPase

Saotome, Masao, Safiulina, Dzhamilja, Szabadkai, György, Das, Sudipto, Fransson, Åsa, Aspenstrom, Pontus, ...

Calcium oscillations suppress mitochondrial movements along the microtubules to support on-demand distribution of mitochondria. To activate this mechanism, Ca2+ targets a yet unidentified cytoplasmic...
