PLoS Biology, 2020 Gap junction connections between neurons play critical roles in the development of the nervous system. However, studies on the sensory experience-driven plasticity during the critical period rarely examine the involvement of gap junction connections.

Comparative Analysis of the Major Polypeptides from Liver Gap Junctions and Lens Fiber Junctions [PDF]
, 1982 Gap junctions from rat liver and fiber junctions from bovine lens have similar septilaminar profiles when examined by thin-section electron microscopy and differ only slightly with respect to the packing of intramembrane particles in freeze-fracture ...

Thalamic modulation of cingulate seizure activity via the regulation of gap junctions in mice thalamocingulate slice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The thalamus is an important target for deep brain stimulation in the treatment of seizures. However, whether the modulatory effect of thalamic inputs on cortical seizures occurs through the modulation of gap junctions has not been previously studied ...

Biology, 2021 In a short-term model of hyperosmotic stress, primary murine astrocytes were stimulated with a hyperosmolar sucrose solution for five minutes. Astrocytic gap junctions, which are mainly composed of Connexin (Cx) 43, displayed immediate ultrastructural ...

Sex- and Age-Related Changes in Connexin 43 Expression in Normal Rat Bladder [PDF]
International Neurourology Journal, 2011 Purpose Gap junctions are intercellular channels to facilitate electrical and metabolic communication between adjacent cells. Connexin 43 is the most predominant type of connexin expressed on rat detrusor muscle cells.

Anomalous temperature dependence of the supercurrent through a chaotic Josephson junction [PDF]
, 1996 We calculate the supercurrent through a Josephson junction consisting of a phase-coherent metal particle (quantum dot), weakly coupled to two superconductors.

Gap junction protein Connexin-43 is a direct transcriptional regulator of N-cadherin in vivo
Nature Communications, 2018 Connexins are the primary components of gap junctions, providing direct links between cells under many physiological processes. Here, we demonstrate that in addition to this canonical role, Connexins act as transcriptional regulators.

Major Loss of the 28-kD Protein of Gap Junction in Proliferating Hepatocytes [PDF]
, 1987 There is a reduction in the 28-kD gap junction protein detectable by immunofluorescence in livers of partially hepatectomized rats and in cultured hepatocytes stimulated to proliferate. By the coordinate use of antibodies directed to the hepatic junction
