Ca~(2+) Oscillations and Its Transporters in Mesenchymal Stem Cells

摘要

Intracellular free Ca~(2+) is one of important biological signals regulating a number of cell functions. It has been discussed widely and extensively in several cell types during the past two decades. Attention has been paid to the Ca~(2+) transportation in mesenchymal stem cells in recent years as mesenchymal stem cells have gained considerable interest due to their potential for cell replacement therapy and tissue engineering. In this paper, roles of intracellular Ca~(2+) oscillations and its transporters in mesenchymal stem cells have been reviewed.
