Cell shape regulates subcellular organelle location to control early Ca2+ signal dynamics in vascular smooth muscle cells

Abstract The shape of the cell is connected to its function; however, we do not fully understand underlying mechanisms by which global shape regulates a cell’s functional capabilities. Using theory, experiments and simulation, we investigated how physiologically relevant cell shape changes affect su...
