Localized Ca2+ uncaging reveals polarized distribution of Ca2+-sensitive Ca2+ release sites: mechanism of unidirectional Ca2+ waves

Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) plays an important role in the generation of cytosolic Ca2+ signals in many cell types. However, it is inherently difficult to distinguish experimentally between the contributions of messenger-induced Ca2+ release and CICR. We have directly tested the CICR sensitivit...
