calcium's roles and mechanisms of action in cell biology. They have attracted and
challenged some of the best minds in physiology, resulting in great conceptual and
skillful sophistication in the rapid evolution of this technology, which shows little
sign of abating.
Acknowledgments
I thank Steve Adams for valuable discussion and Joseph Kao for drawings of chelator structures.
The research done in my laboratory in this area was supported primarily by National Institutes of
Health Grant NS 15114.
