Abstract excerpt
A remarkable duality concerning the role of intracellular Ca2+ ions is observed. At one side Ca2+ is a universal secondary messenger, and at the other side a prolonged increase of the Ca2+ concentration will lead to pathological conditions. This is the reason that Ca2+ signals occur in complex sp...
