Angiotensin II induces coordinated calcium bursts in aldosterone-producing adrenal rosettes

Aldosterone-producing zona glomerulosa cells in the adrenal gland arrange into rosette structures known to be important for morphogenesis. Here the authors show that the cells in the rosettes produce coordinated calcium activity bursts in response to angiotensin II that correlate with aldosterone pr...

Description
Summary:Aldosterone-producing zona glomerulosa cells in the adrenal gland arrange into rosette structures known to be important for morphogenesis. Here the authors show that the cells in the rosettes produce coordinated calcium activity bursts in response to angiotensin II that correlate with aldosterone production level.
