Topics Covered
Generation of calcium signals: regulating influx and release from intracellular stores – Termination of calcium signals: calcium sequestration and calcium efflux – Measuring calcium – Regulation of calcium in and by organelles – Spatiotemporal properties of calcium signals – Calcium effectors – Calcium and disease.
The Format
Each of the seminars is specially commissioned from a leading world expert in a user friendly format of animated slides with synchronized narration. The talks preserve each speaker’s personality and approach allowing you to experience world class seminars at your own pace, wherever you want and as often as you want.
"Dr. Simpson is to be commended for assembling such an impressive group of contributors that reads like a veritable Who's Who of the calcium signalling field.
These are the people who have made the major contributions to our current understanding of cellular calcium signalling, and are at the cutting edge of their specific expertises.
Throughout, the presentations are very well-structured – beginning with clear and appropriate introductions, before presenting the specific details in a carefully sequenced set of slides accompanied by the relevant audio tracks. In this way, they manage to take the reader into the detailed specifics of the very latest findings and current models in a logical, and readily understandable manner.
Moreover, their format and coverage means that the reader can choose to obtain either a comprehensive overview of the entire subject, or select an individual topic of specific interest.
Together they provide a highly informative and extremely thorough, yet readily accessible, insight into a fundamentally important, and universal, aspect of the regulation of cellular function. I am sure this series will provide an important resource to experts in the field, as well as appealing to those who have an interest, but relatively little experience, in this subject.
I would not hesitate to recommend this series to anyone with an interest in the regulation, function, interactions and implications of calcium signalling in cells."
