The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria accumulate Ca(2+) within their lumens to regulate numerous cell functions. However, determining the dynamics of intraorganellar Ca(2+) has proven to be difficult. Here we describe a family of genetically encoded Ca(2+) indicators, named calcium-measuring

What is the relationship between cleavage stage embryo kinetics, blastocyst metabolism and subsequent embryo viability? Embryos cleaving faster at the first cleavage division resulted in blastocysts with a larger inner cell mass (ICM), higher glucose consumption, lower glycolytic rate, higher
Phosphoinositide signaling regulates diverse cellular functions. Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) generates PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,4)P2, leading to the activation of proliferative and anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. Termination of phosphoinositide signaling requires hydrolysis of inositol ring phosphate groups through the actions of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 3-phosphatase
A nanoparticle's physical and chemical properties at the time of cell contact will determine the ensuing cellular response. Aggregation and the formation of a protein corona in the extracellular environment will alter nanoparticle size, shape, and surface properties, giving it

We aimed to analyze the activation status of commonly deregulated receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumor initiating cells (TIC) previously demonstrated to be refractory to ionizing radiation and chemotherapy. Phosphorylated RTK and important signaling
