Still image to accompany July 2019's Video of the Month (Hyser lab) Cells expressing a fluorescent calcium sensor (green) were infected with rotavirus, a virus that causes acute gastroenteritis. The rotavirus-infected cells (pink) trigger an intercellular calcium wave that increases calcium in surrounding uninfected cells. (Scale bar = 100 μm; courtesy of the Hyser lab).
