Building oscillations bottom up: elemental time scales of intracellular calcium dynamics

We analyze the elemental time scale of intracellular calcium dynamics. It is determined by the time course of Ca2+ puffs, which represent the fundamental quantum of Ca2+ release from intracellular storage compartments. Since Ca2+ puffs are truly random, we propose a novel master equation and corresp...
