From spikes to intercellular waves: Tuning intercellular calcium signaling dynamics modulates organ size control.

Information flow within and between cells depends significantly on calcium (Ca2+) signaling dynamics. However, the biophysical mechanisms that govern emergent patterns of Ca2+ signaling dynamics at the organ level remain elusive. Recent experimental studies in developing Drosophila wing imaginal dis...
