TLDR
The most recent insights in the emerging role of Ca(2+) signaling in cellular survival by controlling basal mitochondrial bioenergetics and by regulating apoptosis, a mitochondrial process, and autophagy, a lysosomal process, in response to cell damage and cell stress are discussed.

Physiology of astroglia

TL;DR: Astrocytes are tightly integrated into neural networks and act within the context of neural tissue; astrocytes control homeostasis of the CNS at all levels of organization from molecular to the whole organ.

The calcium-cancer signalling nexus

TL;DR: Specific calcium signalling pathways have also now been identified as playing important roles in the establishment and maintenance of multidrug resistance and the tumour microenvironment.

Calcium signaling and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases.

TL;DR: This review highlight neuronal calcium-signaling abnormalities in these diseases, with particular emphasis on the role of neuronal store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) pathway and its potential relevance as a therapeutic target for treatment of neurodegeneration.

Autophagy, Inflammation, and Immune Dysfunction in the Pathogenesis of Pancreatitis

TL;DR: The roles of autophagy and inflammation in pancreatitis, mechanisms of deregulation, and connections among disordered pathways are discussed, and gaps in knowledge are identified and perspective directions for research are delineated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulation of autophagy by calcium signals: Do we have a consensus?

TL;DR: The sequestration of Ca2+ by mitochondria during physiological signalling appears necessary to maintain cellular bio-energetics, thereby suppressing AMPK-dependent autophagy.

The versatility and universality of calcium signalling

TL;DR: The universality of calcium as an intracellular messenger depends on its enormous versatility, which is exploited to control processes as diverse as fertilization, proliferation, development, learning and memory, contraction and secretion.

AMPK and mTOR regulate autophagy through direct phosphorylation of Ulk1

TL;DR: A molecular mechanism for regulation of the mammalian autophagy-initiating kinase Ulk1, a homologue of yeast ATG1, is demonstrated and a signalling mechanism for UlK1 regulation and autophagic induction in response to nutrient signalling is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium signalling: dynamics, homeostasis and remodelling

TL;DR: The Ca2+-signalling toolkit is used to assemble signalling systems with very different spatial and temporal dynamics and has a direct role in controlling the expression patterns of its signalling systems that are constantly being remodelled in both health and disease.

TSC2 mediates cellular energy response to control cell growth and survival.

TL;DR: It is described that TSC2 is regulated by cellular energy levels and plays an essential role in the cellular energy response pathway and its phosphorylation by AMPK protect cells from energy deprivation-induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bcl-2 antiapoptotic proteins inhibit Beclin 1-dependent autophagy.

TL;DR: Bcl-2 not only functions as an antiapoptotic protein, but also as an antiautophagy protein via its inhibitory interaction with Beclin 1, which may help maintain autophagy at levels that are compatible with cell survival, rather than cell death.
