Tonic NMDA receptor signalling shapes endosomal organisation in mammalian cells

Abstract Calcium signalling through NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system (CNS). NMDAR expression has also been detected in other tissues and aberrant glutamate signalling has been linked to cancer; however, the significance of N...
