«What we saw in mice lacking STIM1 — whose T - cells can not
generate calcium signals — is that the number of mycobacteria in their lungs was dramatically increased, resulting in excessive inflammation,» says Stefan Feske, MD, an associate professor of pathology at NYU Langone and the study's senior author.
Therefore, even after genetic elimination of the 5 - HT3 receptor, no other serotonin receptors were capable of
generating a calcium signal in the ganglion cells.

calcium signals in the surrounding tissue:
«Our studies suggest that the local auxin
signals can be communicated over long distances using
calcium waves in order to
generate an auxin
signal also in target cells located far away,» Hedrich says.
The researchers discovered T - type channels in the pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, can shift from using
calcium ions to using sodium ions to
generate the electrical
signal.
The researchers discovered T - type channels in the pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, can shift from using
calcium ions to using sodium ions to
generate the electrical
signal because of an outer shield of amino acids called a turret situated above the channel's entrance.
