Cortical patterns and gamma genesis are modulated by reversal potentials and gap-junction diffusion [PDF]
, 2010 In this chapter we describe a continuum model for the cortex that includes both axon-to-dendrite chemical synapses and direct neuron-to-neuron gap-junction diffusive synapses.

Gap-Junction-Dependent Labeling of Nascent Proteins in Multicellular Networks
, 2019 Intercellular communication via gap junctions is crucial for orchestrating behaviors of multicellular systems. Imaging methods and electrophysiological techniques have been widely used to identify gap junctions and map the gap-junction-connected cell ...

Functional implications of calcium permeability of the channel formed by pannexin 1. [PDF]
, 2006 Although human pannexins (PanX) are homologous to gap junction molecules, their physiological function in vertebrates remains poorly understood. Our results demonstrate that overexpression of PanX1 results in the formation of Ca(2+)-permeable gap ...

The beneficial effects of cumulus cells and oocyte-cumulus cell gap junctions depends on oocyte maturation and fertilization methods in mice [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Cumulus cells are a group of closely associated granulosa cells that surround and nourish oocytes. Previous studies have shown that cumulus cells contribute to oocyte maturation and fertilization through gap junction communication.

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Studies of intercellular Ca2+ signaling and gap-junction coupling in the developing cochlea of mouse models affected by congenital hearing loss [PDF]
, 2013 Connexin 26 (Cx26) and connexin 30 (Cx30) form gap junction channels that allow the intercellular diffusion of the Ca2+ mobilizing second messenger IP3.
