Table of Contents:
  • Contents: Calcium signalling, ubiquitous and associated with increased energy demand
  • Mitochondria machinery to for taking up calcium from the cytosol
  • The transfer of calcium from cytosol to mitochondria (stimulation of oxidative phosphorylation & matching energy supply with demand)
  • Mutations in proteins that regulate mitochondrial calcium uptake (causation of a neuromuscular disease, possibly by mitochondrial calcium overload)
  • Acute severe calcium overload causes cell death during reperfusion of ischaemic tissues
  • The permeability transition pore, a potential therapeutic target.
