All forms of cell signaling occur in discreet cellular microdomains in which the ER is the main participant and include microdomains formed by the ER with lysosomes, endosomes, the nucleus, mitochondria and the plasma membrane. In the microdomains the two opposing organelles transfer and exchange constituents including lipids and ions. As is the case for other forms of signaling pathways, many components of the receptor-evoked Ca(2+) signal are clustered at the ER/PM microdomain, including the Orai1-STIM1 complex. This review discusses recent advances in understanding the molecular components that tether the ER and plasma membrane to form the ER/PM microdomains in which PI(4,5)P2 is enriched, and how dynamic targeting of the Orai1-STIM1 complex to PI(4,5)P2-poor and PI(4,5)P2-rich microdomains controls the activity of Orai1 and its regulation by Ca(2+) that is mediated by SARAF.

Ca signalling is pivotal in T cell activation, an essential process in adaptive immune responses. Key to this activation are Ca microdomains, which are transient increases in cytosolic Ca concentration occurring within narrow regions between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM), lasting a few tens of milliseconds. Adhesion Dependent Ca Microdomains (ADCM) rely on store-operated Ca entry (SOCE) via the ORAI/STIM system.

Introduction: Advances in molecular targeting of ion channels may open up new avenues for therapeutic approaches in cancer based on the cells' bioelectric properties. In addition to or models, models can provide deeper insight into the complex role of electrophysiology in cancer and reveal the impact of altered ion channel expression and the membrane potential on malignant processes. The A549 model is the first computational cancer whole-cell ion current model that simulates the bioelectric mechanisms of the human non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 during the different phases of the cell cycle.

Stomata are micropores on the leaf epidermis that allow carbon dioxide (CO) uptake for photosynthesis at the expense of water loss through transpiration. Stomata coordinate the plant gas exchange of carbon and water with the atmosphere through their opening and closing dynamics. In the context of global climate change, it is essential to better understand the mechanism of stomatal movements under different environmental stimuli.

Communication between TRPC channels and IP receptors (IPR) is considered pivotal in the generation of spatiotemporal Casignaling patterns. Here we revisited the role of TRPC3-IPR coupling for local Ca signaling within TRPC3-harbouring micro/nanodomains using R-GECO as a reporter, fused to the channel´s C-terminus. Cytoplasmic Ca changes at TRPC3 originated from both the entry of Ca through the TRPC channel and Ca mobilization via IPR.

Ca signalling plays an essential role in T cell activation, which is a key step to start an adaptive immune response. During the transition from a quiescent to a fully activated state, Ca microdomains of reduced spatial and temporal extents develop in the junctions between the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These microdomains rely on Ca entry from the extracellular medium, via the ORAI1/STIM1/STIM2 system that mediates store operated Ca entry Store operated calcium entry.
