The average polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) lives only a day and then dies by apoptosis. We previously found that the calcium-dependent protease calpain is required for apoptosis in several mouse models of cell death. Here we identify calpain, and its endogenous inhibitor calpastatin, as regulato

## Abstract In this study, we investigated the effects of CCL2 on constitutive apoptosis of normal and asthmatic neutrophils. CCL2 blocked the constitutive apoptosis of normal neutrophils through CCR2. CCL2 also induced elevation of the cytosolic Ca^2+^ concentration but had no effect on normal neu
## Abstract Osteocyte apoptosis, associated with reduced interstitial fluid flow, precedes osteoclast precursor recruitment and may aid in the delivery of osteoclast precursors to the remodeling site by promoting angiogenesis. To test the association between fluid flow and osteocyte apoptosis, oste
## Abstract Our previous work has demonstrated that while the Ca^2+^ and Pi ions acting in concert function as a potent osteoblast apoptogen, the underlying mechanisms by which it activates cell death is not known. We hypothesize that the ion pair causes release of Ca^2+^ from intracellular stores
