Abstract

Calcium oscillations are rhythmic fluctuations of the intracellular concentration of calcium ions (Ca). As Ca evokes various cellular processes, its intracellular concentration is tightly regulated. Ca oscillations control biological events, including neuronal differentiation and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells. The frequency and pattern of Ca oscillations depend on cell type. Researchers have studied Ca oscillations to better understand how cells communicate and regulate physiological processes. Dysregulation of Ca oscillations causes health problems, such as neurodegenerative disorders. This review discusses the potential functions of Ca oscillations in stem cells.
