[Spatiotemporal regulation of Ca(2 +) dynamics in live cells revealed by Ca(2 +) imaging].

Advance in the live imaging technology revealed that cells display a variety of Ca(2 +) dynamics, such as the wave, oscillation, blip, puff and spark. Accumulating evidences suggest that not only Ca(2 +) itself, but its spatio-temporal dynamics are the important information carrier in the physiological responses. Here, we will introduce the pattern of Ca(2 +) dynamics along with the latest version of high-performance Ca(2 +) probes.
