The Raymond and Beverly Sackler Distinguished Lecture 2006 - Calcium signalling in health and disease

Event Details:
Date: 27 November 2006 - 17:30
Speaker: Sir Michael J. Berridge, Laboratory of Molecular Signalling, The Babraham Institute, Cambridge
Venue: The Royal Society of Edinburgh

Cells have access to a very extensive Ca2+ signalling toolkit from which each cell type expresses a unique set of  components to create Ca2+ signalling systems with different spatial and temporal properties. Such signalling systems are constantly being remodelled. A number of important disease states may result from abnormal remodelling of Ca2+ signalling systems. Congestive heart failure, a major cause of human morbidity and mortality, is controlled by a number of signalling pathways of which Ca2+ seems to play a prominent role.
