The pore of connexin hemichannels

, 2005
Gap junction channels are intercellular channels that mediate the gated transfer of molecules between adjacent cells. To identify the domain(s) that determine the permeability of the connexin hemichannel, a domain exchange approach was used.

Organelle Crosstalk and Metabolic Reprogramming in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal interstitial lung disease of unknown cause, marked by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen. This pathological accumulation results in progressive destruction of the lung architecture and ultimately leads to respiratory failure.

Dorso‐Ventral and Night‐Day Regulation of Extracellular K+ Dynamics in Mouse Hippocampal Astrocytes

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hippocampal astrocytic K+ buffering varies by region and time. Ventral astrocytes show faster K+ accumulation due to reduced Kir4.1 function. Such regional divergence is modulated by circadian shifts in Kir4.1 and gap junction coupling. ABSTRACT Astrocytes regulate extracellular potassium (K+) through multiple mechanisms operating across distinct ...

Deletion of Astrocytic TNFR1 Attenuates Hyperexcitability and Initiation of Epileptogenesis

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Inducible, astrocyte‐specific deletion of TNFR1 reduces basal EEG spectral power. Loss of astrocytic TNFR1 attenuates acute seizure activity in two distinct experimental models of epilepsy. Deletion of TNFR1 in astrocytes limits epilepsy development and hippocampal pathology in a mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis ...

The Health Benefits of Exercise: Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Our synthesis integrates evidence on exercise‐induced regulatory mechanisms across multiple systems (musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, nervous, metabolic and immune), cross‐system, and aging. We also discusses adaptive regulation of exercise in extreme environments, along with the prospects and challenges of multiomics and AI‐driven precision exercise ...

Immunoglobulin Kappa Light Chain Produced by Cardiomyocytes and Participates in Maintaining Intercalated Disc Integrity

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study identifies Igκ expression in cardiomyocytes, with predominant localization at ICDs. Cardiomyocyte‐specific Igκ knockout induces cardiac dysfunction and ICDs structural disorganization. Mechanistically, Igκ stabilizes plectin to facilitate desmin‒actin network assembly and anchor desmin to DSP, which is critical for maintaining ICDs ...

Tissue‐Resident Macrophage in Inflammation and Cancer

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Opposing macrophage functions in inflammation and cancer converge on shared mechanistic nodes, informing cross‐disease therapeutic strategies. ABSTRACT Tissue‐resident macrophages (TRMs) are long‐lived immune cells strategically distributed across organs, where their functional plasticity enables both homeostatic maintenance and pathological ...

Cancer Neuroscience: From Local Neuro–Immune Microenvironments to Systemic Brain–Body Circuitry

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review outlines the cancer neuroscience paradigm, spanning systemic brain–body circuitry and local neuro–immune–tumor microenvironments. We discuss how tumors promote axonogenesis and pseudo‐synapse formation, and how sensory neuropeptides, such as CGRP, contribute to CD8+ T‐cell exhaustion.
