A three-day International Symposium entitled "Principles of Calcium Signaling" organized by James N. Weiss, Yale E. Goldman, Stéphane Hatem, Lars Cleemann and Nikolai M. Soldatov in honor of the research contributions of Professor Martin Morad was held at the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, Salisbury Cove, Maine. Support for this meeting was provided in part by GlaxoSmithKline, Leica Microsystems, Nikon Corp., St. Jude Medical, Inc., UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center, Dr. Donald S. Orkand, Bob Hillis Family and OML, and Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory. The symposium featured sessions on Cardiac physiology, Ion channels and Calcium signaling.

The zona glomerulosa (ZG) synthesizes the mineralocorticoid aldosterone. The primary role of aldosterone is the maintenance of volume and electrolyte homeostasis. Aldosterone synthesis is primarily regulated via tightly controlled oscillations in intracellular calcium levels in response to stimulation.

Living organisms exhibit an impressive ability to expand the basic information encoded in their genome, specifically regarding the structure and function of protein. Two basic strategies are employed to increase protein diversity and functionality: alternative mRNA splicing and post-translational protein modifications (PTMs). Enzymatic regulation is responsible for the majority of the chemical reactions occurring within living cells.

Tau hyper-phosphorylation has been recognized as an essential contributor to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. In the last decade, tau hyper-phosphorylation has gained considerable concern in AD therapeutic development. Tauopathies are manifested with a broad spectrum of symptoms, from dementia to cognitive decline and motor impairments.

Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with inflammation-induced PTB posing a significant challenge due to its complex pathophysiology. To address this, we developed an in vitro platform utilizing hTERT-immortalized human myometrial (hTERT-HM) cells integrated with a multielectrode array (MEA) biosensing system and optical calcium imaging. Compared to primary uterine myometrial cells, hTERT-HM cells exhibit superior reproducibility, high scalability, and convenient manipulation, facilitating the consistent and large-scale investigations.

Natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy is a significant category in tumor therapy due to its potent tumor-killing and immunomodulatory effects. This research delves into exploring the mechanisms underlying the ability of amoxicillin to boost NK cell cytotoxicity in NK cell immunotherapy. Amoxicillin significantly enhances the cytotoxic activity of NK-92MI cells against MCF-7 cells by triggering the initiation of a cytolytic program in target cell-deficient NK-92MI cells and augmenting the degranulation level of NK-92MI cells in the presence of target cells.
