description: Arguably no other field of biological research embraces such a diverse array of experimental approaches as does the field of calcium signaling. Not only does it span virtually all conceptual and technical areas of molecular and cell biology, but a number of unique techniques, such as the use of permeabilized cells to study intracellular calcium metabolism, have evolved directly from calcium research.Calcium Signaling explores this fascinating area of research, covering the biophysical, molecular biological, and cell biological techniques involved in the study of calcium signaling. This work examines a broad range of topics-from techniques for imaging and measuring calcium in subcellular compartments, to subcellular fractionation and intracellular calcium stores, and patch clamp investigation of calcium channels.Filled with detailed illustrations, Calcium Signaling addresses those key methodological approaches that are useful to scientists and researchers investigating calcium function and regulation in many diverse areas of biological and medical research.
