Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium signaling is implicated in a myriad of coordinated cellular processes. The ER calcium content is tightly regulated as it allows a favorable environment for protein folding, in addition ...

Background: Glycogen and trehalose are storage carbohydrates and their levels in microorganisms vary according to environmental conditions. In Neurospora crassa, alkaline pH stress highly influences glycogen levels, and ...

Calcium is widely accepted as the main factor responsible for blossom-end rotappearance in tomato fruit. However, there is no clear evidences of how this physiological disorder is trigger. In this study, tomato plants from ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the source of lysosomal calcium. The finding that the protein TMBIM6 -a putative ER calcium channel and cell death regulator-promotes calcium transfer from the ER to lysosomes to induce ...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether glutamine (GLN) could block the inhibition of the intestinal Ca2+ absorption caused by menadione (MEN), and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. To do this, one-month old ...

Cardiac or ventricular remodeling is characterized by molecular, cellular, and interstitial alterations that lead to changes in heart size, mass, geometry and function in response to a given insult. Currently, tobacco smoke ...
