摘要
Based on a modified intracellular Ca^2＋ model involving diffusive coupling of two calcium ion channel dusters, the effects of coupling on calcium signalling are numerically investigated. The simulation results indicate that the diffusive coupling of dusters together with internal noise determine the calcium dynamics of single duster, and for either homogeneous or heterogeneous coupled dusters, the synchronization of dusters, which is important to calcium signalling, is enhanced by the coupling effect.
