A4liveCell Blog#3: “Deciphering the inside cell´s story by CYTOCHECK SPAchip®!

Welcome to A4liveCell Blog #3! SPAchip® technology enables the study of calcium signaling in receptor pharmacology. Calcium ions (Ca2+) are one of the most important signal transducers in cells, hence intracellular levels must be tightly regulated since prolonged high levels can lead to cell death. Since extracellular calcium concentration is usually 20,000-fold higher than intracellular […]
