Show abstract
The mammary gland has a central role in optimal mammalian development and survival. Contractions of smooth muscle-like basal (or myoepithelial) cells in the functionally mature mammary gland in response to oxytocin are essential for milk ejection and are tightly regulated by intracellular calcium (Ca2+). Using mice expressing a genetically encoded Ca2+ indicator (GCaMP6f), we present in this chapter a method to visualise at high spatiotemporal resolution changes in intracellular Ca2+ in mammary epithelial cells, both in vitro (2D) and ex vivo (3D). The procedure to optimally prepare mammary tissue and primary cells is presented in detail.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
