A new interpretation of existing data permits us to define a model capable of accounting for agonist-induced Ca2+ oscillations in the cytosol of electrically non-excitable cells. The model only requires one Ca2+ store, which contains Ca2+ channels controlled by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and Ca2+. Computer simulations may generate different experimentally observed patterns of Ca2+ oscillations.
