Abstract
Recent work has shown that a sustained increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is often linked to the onset of cytotoxicity. Sten Orrenius and colleagues describe several biochemical mechanisms that are stimulated by such a Ca2+ increase and can directly mediate cell death by causing disruption of the cytoskeleton, DNA fragmentation and extensive damage to other cell components.Entities:
