The comeback of mitochondria to calcium signalling.
With this overview of the role of mitochondria in the realm of calcium signalling we have tried to provide a chronological perspective, from the very early days to the present. We have briefly sketched a timeline of the research on calcium and mitochondria during the course of the century. Particular attention is paid to recent developments which have contributed to a renewed interest in calcium handling by this organelle.
