A series of calcium complexes containing oxalamidinate ligands is described. Reactions of oxalamidinate ligand precursors, [PhN=C{NH(CH2)2OMe}-C{NH(CH2)2OMe}=NPh] (1), [PhN=C{NH(CH2)2NMe2}-C{NH(CH2)2NMe2}=NPh] (2), [Ph(TriMe)N=C{NH(CH2)2OMe}-C{NH(CH2)2OMe}=NPh(TriMe)] (3), [Ph(TriMe)N=C{NH(CH2)2SMe}-C{NH(CH2)2SMe}=NPh(TriMe)] (4), [Ph(TriMe)N=C{NHCH2Py}-C{NHCH2Py}=NPh(TriMe)] (5), with two molar equivalents of Ca[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2 gave calcium oxalamidinate complexes, [Ca{N(SiMe3)2}(THF)(PhN)C{N(CH2)2OMe}-]2 (6), [Ca{N(SiMe3)2}(THF)(PhN)C{N(CH2)2NMe2}-]2 (7), [Ca{N(SiMe3)2}(THF)(Ph(TriMe)N)C{N(CH2)2OMe}-]2 (8), [Ca{N(SiMe3)2}(THF)(Ph(TriMe)N)C{N(CH2)2SMe}-]2 (9), [Ca{N(SiMe3)2}(THF)(Ph(TriMe)N)C{NCH2Py}-]2 (10), respectively. The molecular structure of complex 7 was further characterized by the single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The catalytic activities of complexes 6-10 toward the ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone were studied. Complex 8 exhibited excellent activity for the polymerization of ε-caprolactone with controlled molecular weights and polydispersities.

The amount of colloidal calcium phosphate (CCP) complex associated with caseins (insoluble [INSOL] Ca) determines the body, texture, flavor, and breakdown of cheese constituents during aging. The continuous pH decline during cheesemaking because of lactic acid fermentation results in solubilization of INSOL Ca. Measuring INSOL Ca in such a dynamic and wide range pH system (6.

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.

Large conductance voltage- and calcium-activated potassium channels (BK channels) are extensively found throughout the central nervous system and play a crucial role in various neuronal functions. These channels are activated by a combination of cell membrane depolarisation and an increase in intracellular calcium concentration, provided by calcium sources located close to BK. In 2001, Isaacson and Murphy first demonstrated the coupling of BK channels with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) in olfactory bulb neurons.

Context: Phosphate homeostasis was compromised in tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) due to increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) secretion. Nevertheless, the glucose metabolic profile in TIO patients has not been investigated.
Objectives: This work aimed to clarify the glucose metabolic profiles in TIO patients and explore their interaction with impaired phosphate homeostasis.

Hyperoxaluria, including primary and secondary hyperoxaluria, is a disorder characterized by increased urinary oxalate excretion and could lead to recurrent calcium oxalate kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis and eventually end stage renal disease. For secondary hyperoxaluria, high dietary oxalate (HDOx) or its precursors intake is a key reason. Recently, accumulated studies highlight the important role of gut microbiota in the regulation of oxalate homeostasis.
