Article Abstract

The universality of calcium as an intracellular messenger depends on the dynamics of its spatial and temporal release from calcium stores. Accumulating evidence over the past two decades supports an essential role for nuclear calcium signalling in the transduction of specific stimuli into cellular responses. This review focusses on mechanisms underpinning changes in nuclear calcium concentrations and discusses what is known so far, about the origin of the nuclear calcium signals identified, primarily in the context of microbial symbioses and abiotic stresses.

Electrical deep brain stimulation is effective for epilepsy suppression, but will lead to neural tissue damage and inflammation due to implantation of electrodes and a pulse generator. Transcranial magnetic and transcranial ultrasound stimulation cannot directly generate effective electrical signals in deep brain regions. Here, the use of piezoelectric nanoparticles is proposed as wireless nanostimulators for deep brain electrical stimulation and minimally invasive suppression of epilepsy.

Objectives: To evaluate whether dual-layer spectral computed tomography, compared with conventional CT, improves diagnostic accuracy for osteolytic vertebral metastases. Furthermore, to investigate the influence of dual-layer CT on the subjective visibility of metastases.

Materials And Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, consecutive patients with an untreated primary tumor who underwent dual-layer CT and either MRI or PET-CT as reference standard within 14 days were included.

Fluorine-fluorocholine (F-FCH) is a radiopharmaceutical used in primary hyperparathyroidism. The data about its utility in malignancies other than prostate and hepatocellular carcinoma is limited. We present the case of a patient who was referred for F-FCH positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) due to the persistently elevated parathormone and calcium levels following total thyroidectomy with left lower parathyroidectomy for parathyroid carcinoma (PTC).

RGPR-p117 is a newly discovered transcription factor that specifically binds to the nuclear factor I consensus motif, TTGGC(N)CC, in the promoter region of the regucalcin gene. This gene plays a multifunctional role in cell regulation. The human RGPR-p117 gene comprises 26 exons totaling approximately 4.

S100 calcium-binding protein A16 (S100A16), the most recently identified member of the S100 calcium-binding protein family, has been implicated in various cancers. However, its specific role in cervical cancer remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that silencing the S100A16 gene inhibits the migratory ability of HeLa and SiHa cells without affecting their viability.
