Encoding and Decoding of Intra- and Intercellular $Ca^{2+}$ Signals

Professor Dr. Marko Marhl
Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
University of Maribor

Abstract: In the seminar most prominent cellular mechanisms of signal transduction in biological cells are presented. We begin with simple two-component systems characteristic for prokaryotic cells. The mechanism is compared with $Ca^{2+}$-signalling in higher developed cells and with known human-developed telecommunication systems. In particular the TDMA and FDMA mechanisms are discussed. Since the cellular $Ca^{2+}$ signals can also be transmitted through gap-junctions to adjacent cells and can propagate in form of waves through the tissue, some most recent results on spatiotemporal $Ca^{2+}$ signals in intercellular signalling are also presented.

Seminarsko predavanje (v angleškem jeziku) bo v četrtek 25. januarja 2007 ob 15:15 uri v seminarski sobi CAMTP na Krekovi 2, pritličje desno. Vljudno vabljeni vsi zainteresirani, tudi študentje.
