Research Abstract |
Calcium sparks occur as spontaneous calcium release in subplasmalemmal regions under physiological and pathological conditions in smooth muscle cells. Spatiotemporal imaging of molecular assembly and calcium dynamics in functional calcium microdomain using a total internal reflection fluorescence microscope enables us to elucidate its physiological impact in the regulation of membrane excitability and myogenic tone in vascular smooth muscle cells.
