Elementary Intracellular Ca Signals are Initiated by a Transition of Release Channel System from a Metastable State
Guillermo Veron, Victor A. Maltsev, Michael D. Stern +1
Cardiac muscle contraction is initiated by an elementary Ca signal (called Ca spark) which is achieved by collective action of Ca release channels in a cluster. The mechanism of th…
Mechanisms of Calcium Leak from Cardiac Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Revealed by Statistical Mechanics
Anna Maltsev, Michael Stern, Victor Maltsev
Heart muscle contraction is normally activated by a synchronized Ca release from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), a major intracellular Ca store. However, under abnormal conditions Ca…
Computer Algorithms for Automated Detection and Analysis of Local Ca2+ Releases in Spontaneously Beating Cardiac Pacemaker Cells
Alexander V. Maltsev, Sean P. Parsons, Mary S. Kim +5
Local Ca Releases (LCRs) are crucial events involved in cardiac pacemaker cell function. However, specific algorithms for automatic LCR detection and analysis have not been develop…
Clusters of calcium release channels harness the Ising phase transition to confine their elementary intracellular signals
Anna Maltsev, Victor Maltsev, Michael Stern
Intracellular Ca signals represent a universal mechanism of cell function. Messages carried by Ca are local, rapid, and powerful enough to be delivered over the thermal noise. A hi…
