amazing! feels like 'the nodes of Ranvier' equivalent (well, kind of...)..off course cells need to devise how to use this common bivalent metal ion to achieve signalling specificity (and diversity!)
Periodic ER-plasma membrane junctions support long-range Ca2+ signal integration in dendrites
In neuronal dendrites of both rodents and flies, there are regularly spaced contact
sites between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane, which function as
hubs for regulating Ca2+ homeost...

quite intriguing - this quintessential signalling paper establishes Gs-derived Gβγ can also generate IP3-evoked Ca2+ signals through directly activating PLCβ - 'long-overlooked mechanism' indeed gets demystified!
A molecular mechanism to diversify Ca2+ signaling downstream of Gs protein-coupled receptors - Nature Communications
Gs heterotrimers are considered to be poor providers of free Gβγ subunits. Here, the authors show that—despite this—Gs-derived Gβγ dimers are active transducers of GPCR-initiated Ca2+ signals involvin...
