The Calcium Signaling and Excitation-Contraction Coupling, in Cardiac, Skeletal, and Smooth Muscle Symposium will highlight recent advances in calcium signaling in all types of muscle: cardiac, smooth and skeletal. It is held in association with a Special Issue of the Journal of General Physiology. It is designed to be truly global with two of the four sessions held at times suitable for the Western Hemisphere and the others for the Eastern. Registration is free and there will be opportunities to present posters, with prizes to be given in special awards sessions.
