Description
Every cell of the body is dependent on calcium to function. Calcium is found in teeth and bones, and calcium signalling is necessary
for the movement of muscles and for the action of the heart and the intestines as well as blood coagulation. This volume will update
classic techniques in detecting microscopic levels of calcium ions (Ca2+) in living cells, as well as address new techniques in the field
of calcium detection and calcium signaling. Such detection and measurement of intracellular calcium is important to researchers studying
the heart, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and immune systems, whose findings will aid in the advancement of drug and genomic therapies
to treat heart, gastrointestinal, autoimmune, and infectious diseases.
