Cells, 2023 Connexins are important proteins involved in cell-to-cell communication and cytodifferentiation during renewal and cornification of the multilayered epithelia. So far, there is a lack of reports on this subject in birds’ structurally different ortho- and

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2017 Inherited or acquired alterations in the structure and function of connexin proteins have long been associated with disease. In the present work, we review current knowledge on the role of connexins in diseases associated with the heart, nervous system, cochlea, and skin, as well as cancer and pleiotropic syndromes such as oculodentodigital dysplasia ...

Connexin communication compartments and wound repair in epithelial tissue [PDF]
, 2018 Epithelial tissues line the lumen of tracts and ducts connecting to the external environment. They are critical in forming an interface between the internal and external environment and, following assault from environmental factors and pathogens, they ...

Glial connexins and pannexins in the healthy and diseased brain.
Physiological Reviews, 2020 Over the past several decades a large amount of data have established that glial cells, the main cell population in the brain, dynamically interact with neurons and thus impact their activity and survival.

Molecular and functional characterization of gap junctions in the avian inner ear. [PDF]
, 2006 To analyze the fundamental role of gap junctions in the vertebrate inner ear, we examined molecular and functional characteristics of gap junctional communication (GJC) in the auditory and vestibular system of the chicken.

Connexins in cancer: bridging the gap to the clinic
Oncogene, 2019 Gap junctions comprise arrays of intercellular channels formed by connexin proteins and provide for the direct communication between adjacent cells. This type of intercellular communication permits the coordination of cellular activities and plays key ...

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