Summary:

The study of calcium signaling has become so vast that no one can specialize in more than a small subspecialty of it, but these 23 reprinted articles offer a broad view of the field, its history, and its various branches. The first section covers calcium signal generation/modulation and homeostasis, and contains articles in calcium entry, release, and buffers and pumps. The other section is devoted to functional aspects of calcium signaling, with papers in proteins mediating effects of calcium physiological processes regulated by calcium and calcium in cell death and disease.
