Professor Stewart Sage’s research focuses on intracellular calcium signaling mechanisms and the roles of calcium signals in platelet function. His work concerns the mechanisms that generate calcium entry, particularly those that couple to the depletion of intracellular calcium stores, activating calcium entry. Stewart employs fluorescent indicators and protein chemistry in his research. He collaborates with Dr. Alan Harper at the Institute of Science Technology Medicine, Keele University, studying platelet calcium signaling systems and investigating agonist-evoked changes in calcium ion concentration and how they influence calcium movements in cellular and pericellular compartments. His findings indicate that the calcium recycling system in platelets may involve nanojunctions between the dense tubular system and the open canalicular system of the platelet membrane complex. He has multiple collaborations with various experts in his field, contributing to the understanding of physiology and biochemistry.
