Ensheathment of axons by myelin is a highly complex and multi-cellular process. Cytosolic calcium (Ca) changes in the myelin sheath have been implicated in myelin synthesis, but the source of this Ca and the role of neuronal activity is not well understood. Using one-photon Ca imaging, we investigated myelin sheath formation in the mouse somatosensory cortex and found a high rate of spontaneous microdomain Ca transients and large-amplitude Ca waves propagating along the internode. The frequency of Ca transients and waves rapidly declines with maturation and reactivates during remyelination. Unexpectedly, myelin microdomain Ca transients occur independent of neuronal action potential generation or network activity but are nearly completely abolished when the mitochondrial permeability transition pores are blocked. These findings are supported by the discovery of mitochondria organelles in non-compacted myelin. Together, the results suggest that myelin microdomain Ca signals are cell-autonomously driven by high activity of mitochondria during myelin remodeling.

Neurotransmitters and neuromodulators can be released via either action potential (AP)-evoked transient or AP-independent continuous neurotransmission. The elevated AP-evoked neurotransmission in the primary sensory neurons plays crucial roles in hyperalgesia. However, whether and how the AP-independent continuous neurotransmission contributes to hyperalgesia remains largely unknown.

A disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs) are transmembrane proteases that cleave other proteins close to the surface in a process called shedding. The prominent member ADAM10 has been linked to several pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease, bacterial infection, cancer development and metastasis. Although the regulation of the ADAM10 activity by calcium influx and calmodulin inhibition has been reported, the spatiotemporal regulation of Ca-dependent ADAM10 activation and the required source of Ca ions have not been thoroughly studied.

Asymmetric cell division in bacteria is achieved through cell polarization, where regulatory proteins are directed to specific cell poles. In Caulobacter crescentus, both poles contain a membraneless microdomain, established by the polar assembly hub PopZ, through most of the cell cycle, yet many PopZ clients are unipolar and transiently localized. We find that PopZ's interaction with the response regulator CpdR is controlled by phosphorylation, via the histidine kinase CckA.

Astrocytic processes minutely regulate neuronal activity via tripartite synaptic structures. The precision-tuning of the function of astrocytic processes is garnering increasing attention because of its significance in promoting brain repair following ischemic stroke. Microdomain calcium (Ca) transients in astrocytic processes are pivotal for the functional regulation of these processes.
