DOI: 10.1042/ebc20160069
Abstract: Ca2+ and Zn2+ dynamics have been identified as important drivers of physiological processes. In order for these dynamics to encode function, the cell must have sensors that transduce changes in metal concentration to specific downstream… read more here.

DOI: 10.1107/s2052252523001501
Abstract: The EF-hands within the crystal structures of the Zn2+-bound EFhd1 and EFhd2 core domains coordinate Zn2+ ions. EFhd1 and EFhd2 exhibited Ca2+- and Zn2+-independent actin binding and Ca2+- and Zn2+-dependent actin-bundling activity, and these suggest… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2023.1118335
Abstract: Recent pharmacological studies demonstrate a role for zinc (Zn2+) in shaping intracellular calcium (Ca2+) dynamics and vice versa in excitable cells including neurons and cardiomyocytes. Herein, we sought to examine the dynamic of intracellular release… read more here.
