Calcium Signalling: Methods and Protocols [Hardcover]

This volume looks at the latest developments in studying calcium signaling. The chapters in this book discuss topics such as in vitro and in vivo analyses in model systems; methods to measure Ca2+ in different subcellular compartments; single Ca2+ channels; methods to measure cellular ROS and ATP; and the functionality of the ATP synthase. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Calcium Signalling: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource that covers both conceptual and methodological viewpoints to aid beginners and experts in furthering their studies in the developing field of calcium homeostasis research.
