Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

Strain uses gap junctions to reverse stimulation of osteoblast proliferation by osteocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Identifying mechanisms by which cells of the osteoblastic lineage communicate in vivo is complicated by the mineralised matrix that encases osteocytes, and thus, vital mechanoadaptive processes used to achieve load‐bearing integrity remain unresolved. We

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

Influence of Berberine on Cisplatin Antineoplastic Effect in A549 Cells

open access: yesChinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2015
Background and objective Cisplatin is a standard first-line chemotherapeutic agents for treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Unfortunately, the clinical application cisplatin is restricted because it induces serious adverse reaction.

Role of astroglial hemichannels and pannexons in Memory and Neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2016
Under physiological conditions, astroglial hemichannels and pannexin channels allow the release of gliotransmitters from astrocytes. These gliotransmitters are critical in modulating synaptic transmission, plasticity and memory.

CX43 down-regulation promotes cell aggressiveness and 5-fluorouracil-resistance by attenuating cell stiffness in colorectal carcinoma

open access: yesCancer Biology & Therapy, 2023
Chemotherapy is one of the most commonly treatments of advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the drug resistant following chemotherapeutic treatment is a significant challenge in the clinical management of CRC.

Calcium oscillations coordinate feather mesenchymal cell movement by SHH dependent modulation of gap junction networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Collective cell migration mediates multiple tissue morphogenesis processes. Yet how multi-dimensional mesenchymal cell movements are coordinated remains mostly unknown.

Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...

Gap junctions in hematopoietic stroma control proliferation and differentiation of blood cell precursors

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2004
We examined gap junction communication in an in vitro model of hematopoiesis, using the murine bone marrow stroma cell line S-17, and primary cultures of murine marrow-derived blood cell precursors.

Gap-junctional coupling between neutrophils and endothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Communication between leukocytes and endothelial cells is crucial for inflammatory reactions. Paracrine cross-talk and outside-in signaling (via adhesion molecules) have been characterized as communication pathways to date.
