Modelling the effects of calcium waves and oscillations on saliva secretion

An understanding of Ca2+Ca2+ signalling in saliva-secreting acinar cells is important, as Ca2+Ca2+ is the second messenger linking stimulation of cells to production of saliva. Ca2+Ca2+ signals affect secretion via the ion channels located both apically and basolaterally in the cell. By approximatin...
