Calcium Signaling In Airway Smooth Muscle Cells edited by Yong-Xiao Wang.

Calcium signaling plays an important role in cellular responses in almost all types of cells including airway smooth muscle cells. This universal signaling may result from extracellular calcium influx and/or intracellular calcium release, which are precisely controlled and regulated by ion channels,...
