The first NSQI-based research paper goes online
17 September 2010

Samantha Pitt and colleagues from the research group of Rebecca Sitsapesan have published the first scientific paper, containing results collected from the Centre for NSQI. The paper, "TPC2 is a novel NAADP-sensitive Ca2+-release channel, operating as a dual sensor of luminal pH and Ca2+" has been published online and will appear in print later this year in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
