Harnessing NCX-IP3R-dependent Calcium Oscillations to Regulate Angiogenic Signaling in Endothelial Cells

Donghyun Paul Jeong, Stephen Cini, Kailee Mendiola, Satyajyoti Senapati, Alexander William Dowling, Hsueh-Chia Chang, Jeremiah J. Zartman, Donny Hanjaya‐Putra

This paper demonstrates that sodium-calcium cross-talk regulates calcium oscillations in endothelial cells, which control angiogenic signaling and can be manipulated to generate angiogenic responses in engineered tissues.
