DOI: 10.1038/s41583-020-0361-8
Abstract: Astrocytes functionally interact with neurons and with other brain cells. Although not electrically excitable, astrocytes display a complex repertoire of intracellular Ca 2+ signalling that evolves in space and time within single astrocytes and across… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2206433119
Abstract: Some of the most spectacular examples of botanical carnivory—in which predator plants catch and digest animals presumably to supplement the nutrient-poor soils in which they grow—occur within the Droseraceae family. For example, sundews of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01635581.2021.2020305
Abstract: Abstract Identifying novel agents for cancer treatment is critical because of obstacles with anticancer drug resistance and lack of drug effectiveness. Intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+), a common second messenger, regulates various cellular pathophysiological processes including… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/ery160
Abstract: The universality of calcium as an intracellular messenger depends on the dynamics of its spatial and temporal release from calcium stores. Accumulating evidence over the past two decades supports an essential role for nuclear calcium… read more here.

Complementary encoding of spatial information in hippocampal astrocytes

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3001530
Abstract: Calcium dynamics into astrocytes influence the activity of nearby neuronal structures. However, because previous reports show that astrocytic calcium signals largely mirror neighboring neuronal activity, current information coding models neglect astrocytes. Using simultaneous two-photon calcium… read more here.
