Signaling by calcium ions is an important regulator of muscle contraction, nerve impulses, fertilization, and numerous other cellular processes. This book explores the experimental techniques used to monitor movement of calcium ions into/out of cells and between subcellular compartments, as well as analyse its effects on the intracellular targets that mediate its effects.
