In the past decade there has been increasing recognition of the ability of cells to transmit signals by means of transient pulses of calcium ions. The system can use both extracellular and intracellular calcium sources to generate these effects. The relationship of this signaling system to the more commonly discussed properties of calcium homeostasis and calcium transport offers interesting opportunities for future research.
