Want to know how endoplasmic reticulum (ER) spatial structure affects calcium signaling in astrocytes? Check our new paper now online in Glia. The placement of IP3 receptors is crucial to determine whether ER close to the membrane amplifies calcium signals. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Exciting new preprint on the unexplained evolution of the BK calcium-activated potassium channel. High single channel conductance (see picture) in vertebrates lowers calcium buffering effect of the BK channels, leading to more effective and precise activation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Chart showing evolution of BK single channel conductance.
