The available knowledge concerning second messengers such as Ca2+ and cAMP has
grown immensely in the past few years. The concept of tight spatial compartmentalisation of
these signals within cells has led to more refined models of intracellular signalling. The
development of recombinant probes based on the green fluorescent protein have allowed
the monitoring of these second messenger levels in single cells, with high spatial and
temporal resolution.
