Calcium and age in fibroblasts from control subjects and patients with cystic fibrosis

Calcium and age in fibroblasts from control subjects and patients with cystic fibrosis

B L Shapiro et al. Science. .

Abstract

Intracellular calcium increases significantly as human fibroblasts age in culture. The calcium increase occurs 5 to 6 weeks (passages) earlier and is significantly greater in fibroblasts from subjects with cystic fibrosis in comparison with cells from control subjects. Intracellular calcium, which is thought to be a pathogenetic factor in cystic fibrosis, may also be a meaningful marker in cell aging.
