ATP Release from Cultured Endothelial Cells and Intercellular Calcium Signaling during Shear Stress Exposure

Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) is a second messenger molecule critical for numerous intracellular signaling pathways in endothelial cells (ECs). Direct mechanical stimulation imposed on single ECs by a microprobe has been demonstrated to increase [Ca2+]i levels in ECs. After an initial delay time,...
