Glial calcium: homeostasis and signaling function.
@article{Verkhratsky1998GlialCH, title={Glial calcium: homeostasis and signaling function.}, author={Alexej Verkhratsky and Richard K. Orkand and Helmut Kettenmann}, journal={Physiological reviews}, year={1998}, volume={78 1}, pages={ 99-141 } }
Glial cells respond to various electrical, mechanical, and chemical stimuli, including neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and hormones, with an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The increases exhibit a variety of temporal and spatial patterns. These [Ca2+]i responses result from the coordinated activity of a number of molecular cascades responsible for Ca2+ movement into or out of the cytoplasm either by way of the extracellular space or intracellular stores…

Spatiotemporal dynamics of Ca2+ signaling and its physiological roles
- BiologyProceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and biological sciences

Ca2+ oscillations are an efficient mechanism in regulating cell functions, having effects supra-proportional to the sum of duration of Ca2+ increase and has been used to identify hitherto unrecognized functions of Ca 2+ signals.
Control and Plasticity of Intercellular Calcium Waves in Astrocytes: A Modeling Approach
- BiologyThe Journal of Neuroscience
- 2002
A mathematical model of the intercellular Ca2+ waves in astrocytes identifies multiple steps that may be involved in the regulation of this inter cellular signaling pathway, and proposes the term “limited regenerative signaling”.
How does Calcium oscillate

This work uses an interdisciplinary approach combining experimental techniques from biology, analytical tools from theoretical physics and computer simulations to clarify the question of the oscillation mechanism and how cells can generate globally coordinated Ca2+ signals originated from local stochastic channel dynamics.

The endoplasmic reticulum is an important organelle involved in various types of signaling in nerve cells and establishes a link between fast signaling, associated with ER Ca2+ release/uptake, and long-lasting adaptive responses relying primarily on the regulation of protein synthesis.

The results demonstrate that mouse astrocytes contain two distinct ER Ca2+ stores, the larger, IP3‐ (CPA‐) sensitive, and the smaller, Ca2‐ (CAF‐)sensitive, which can be regulated by the Na/Ca exchanger.

It is considered most likely that the O-2A lineage cells express both non-NMDA receptors that are relatively impermeable to divalent cations, as well as a smaller population that are Ca2+ permeable.
