The precipitation reaction with potassium oxalate was used to investigate the subcellular localization of Ca2+ in atrial myocardocytes and in Schwann cells of non-myelinated nerve fibers. Chelation with EGTA was used to prove the presence of Ca2+ in the electronoopaque deposits. In both cell types the oxalate reaction was intense in the classically described Ca2+ deposits: the perinuclear cisterna, the endo (sarco) plasmic reticulum, the mitochondrial matrix, but also in a novel localization: the cisternae of the Golgi stack in all cis to trans positions, suggesting that Golgi Apparatus is a major intracellular Ca2+ pool.

Activation of Ca channels in Ca stores in organelles and the plasma membrane generates cytoplasmic calcium ([Ca]) signals that control almost every aspect of cell function, including metabolism, vesicle fusion and contraction. Mitochondria have a high capacity for Ca uptake and chelation, alongside efficient Ca release mechanisms. Still, mitochondria do not store Ca in a prolonged manner under physiological conditions and lack the capacity to generate global [Ca] signals.

Targeted organelle therapy is a promising therapeutic method for significantly regulating the tumor microenvironment, yet it often lacks effective strategies for leveraging synergistic enhancement effect. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are expected to address this challenge due to their notable advantages in drug delivery, extended circulation time, and intercellular information transmission. Herein, we prepare sEVs with pH and photothermal dual-responsiveness, which are encapsulated with hydrogels for a quadruple-efficient synergistic therapy.

The mechanisms underlying cooperative activation and inactivation of myocardial force extend from local, near-neighbor interactions involving troponin-tropomyosin regulatory units (RU) and crossbridges (XB) to more global interactions across the sarcomere. To better understand these mechanisms in the hearts of small and large mammals, we undertook a simplified mathematical approach to assess the contribution of three types of near-neighbor cooperative interactions, i.e.

Aluminium (Al)-induced programmed cell death (PCD) is thought to be a main cause of Al phytotoxicity. However, the underlying mechanism by which Al induces PCD in plants is unclear. In this study, we characterized the function of AhASRK1 (Aluminum Sensitive Receptor-like protein Kinase1), an Al-induced LRR-type receptor-like kinase gene.

Significant losses of vegetables and fruits occur at multiple stages, including harvest, sorting, storage, and transportation, primarily due to mechanical damage, pathogen invasion, and the natural process of senescence. To mitigate postharvest decay and maintain superior quality of produce, conventional techniques such as low temperature storage and synthetic fungicide treatment are widely employed. Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM), an effective plant resistance inducers, has demonstrated its efficacy in protecting against a diverse range of fungal and bacterial pathogens.
