Circulation Research, 2002 In cardiac electrophysiology, gap junctions are often conceptualized as passive resistors that allow for electrical charge to move between cells. From that standpoint, gap junctions seem like rigid structures that sit idle between cells as small ions traverse across.

Artificial lipidation of proteins and peptides: from mechanism to clinical applications
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Artificial lipidation transforms protein and peptide therapeutics by attaching fatty acid chains through reversible or permanent chemical strategies. This biomimetic approach delivers four key therapeutic advantages: extended circulation times (enabling weekly instead of daily dosing), alternative administration routes including oral delivery, precise ...

ATP Releasing Connexin 30 Hemichannels Mediate Flow-Induced Calcium Signaling in the Collecting Duct
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 ATP in the renal tubular fluid is an important regulator of salt and water reabsorption via purinergic calcium signaling that involves the P2Y2 receptor, ENaC and AQP2.

EHD4 and ASAP2 are critical negative regulators of the claudin‐5‐based endothelial barrier
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Cell‐surface CLDN‐5 protein levels can be evaluated using a probe that can bind to the extracellular domains of CLDN‐5. A probe derived from Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin allows us to isolate cells with high CLDN‐5 protein levels from a knockout cell library.

Acidosis potentiates endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation and gap junction communication in the superior mesenteric artery. [PDF]
, 2018 Extracellular pH is an important physiological determinant of vascular tone that is normally maintained within 7.35-7.45. Any change outside this range leads to severe pathological repercussions.

Connexin 46 and Connexin 50 in Selenite Cataract
Ophthalmic Research, 2005 The purpose of this work was to determine if the lens gap junction proteins connexin 46 (Cx46) and connexin 50 (Cx50) were altered with the development of selenite-induced cataract. Cataracts were induced in young Sprague-Dawley rats with a single subcutaneous injection of sodium selenite; age-matched uninjected rats served as controls.

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.Sacubitril/Valsartan (Sac/Val) alleviates fibrosis and inflammation in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Its anti‐fibrotic effect is linked to the suppression of Integrin alpha 8 (Itga8), a protein crucial for hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and collagen production.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013 The potential gap junction forming mouse connexin29 (Cx29) protein is concomitantly expressed with connexin32 (Cx32) in peripheral myelin forming Schwann cells and together with both Cx32 and connexin47 (Cx47) in oligodendrocytes of the CNS. To study the

Overcoming the roadblocks to cardiac cell therapy using tissue engineering [PDF]
, 2017 Transplantations of various stem cells or their progeny have repeatedly improved cardiac performance in animal models of myocardial injury; however, the benefits observed in clinical trials have been generally less consistent.
