## Abstract The extracellular concentrations of Ca^2+^ and Mg^2+^ are well known to play important roles in the function of the central nervous system. We examined the effects of extracellular Ca^2+^ and Mg^2+^ on ATP release and intercellular signaling in astrocytes. The extent of propagation of i

Two main characteristics of astrocytes are their elaborated intracellular calcium signaling and their high degree of intercellular communication mediated by gap junctional channels. In these cells a number of studies have contributed to demonstrate that the combination of these two properties provid
## Abstract In this review we summarize mechanisms of Ca^2+^ signaling in microglial cells and the impact of Ca^2+^ signaling and Ca^2+^ levels on microglial function. So far, Ca^2+^ signaling has been only characterized in cultured microglia and thus these data refer rather to activated microglia
## Abstract Calnuc is a recently discovered multidomain protein with EFβhand calcium binding sites. Several studies have reported various interacting partners for calnuc and, therefore, also different sites of localization in the cell. It interacts with important molecules such as DNA, G protein, C
