Journal ArticleDOI
A Tale of Two Leaks
TL;DR: It is worth emphasizing that the normal Ca transient depends on the RyRs being virtually closed in diastole, opening very briefly to produce the systolic increase of Ca, and then closing to allow …
Journal Article
A study of intracellular calcium oscillations in sheep cardiac Purkinje fires
Journal ArticleDOI
A sideways look at sparks, quarks, puffs and blips.
TL;DR: The sparks do not appear to be restricted to muscle, or indeed to systems using the ryanodine receptor channel, as closely related phenomena (puffs) have been found in other cells such as the Xei7 opus oocyte.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of background Ca2+ influx, sarcoplasmic reticulum threshold and heart failure in determining propensity for Ca2+ waves in sheep heart

TL;DR: In this article , sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content reaches a threshold and is commonly induced experimentally by raising external Ca2+, although the mechanism by which this causes waves is unclear and was the focus of this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced calcium release at specialised surface sites compensates for reduced t-tubule density in neonatal sheep atrial myocytes.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that despite reduced transverse (t)-tubule density due to immature t-tubules, the newborn atrium is highly specialised to maintain Ca2+ release.
