Cytosolic Ca2+ Elevation in Endothelia Cells Stimulated by a Vibrating Needle: Imaging by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy

Ca2+ is a secondary messenger that controls a wide range of processes. In vascular endothelial cells, cytosolic Ca2+ is known to be affected by shear stress. Therefore, imaging Ca2+ activity at cellular and subcellular levels in endothelial cells helps to study effect that shear stress has on cellular functions. In thi...
