Connexins in neurons and glia: targets for intervention in disease and injury
Neural Regeneration Research, 2015 Both neurons and glia throughout the central nervous system are organized into networks by gap junctions. Among glia, gap junctions facilitate metabolic homeostasis and intercellular communication.

Connexin hemichannels as candidate targets for cardioprotective and anti-arrhythmic treatments
The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023 Connexins are crucial cardiac proteins that form hemichannels and gap junctions. Gap junctions are responsible for the propagation of electrical and chemical signals between myocardial cells and cells of the specialized conduction system in order to ...

Abundance of gap junctions at glutamatergic mixed synapses in adult Mosquitofish spinal cord neurons
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014 Dye-coupling, whole-mount immunohistochemistry for gap junction channel protein connexin 35 (Cx35), and freeze-fracture replica immunogold labeling (FRIL) reveal an abundance of electrical synapses/gap junctions at glutamatergic mixed synapses in the ...

Gap junctions modulate interkinetic nuclear movement in retinal progenitor cells [PDF]
, 2005 During early retinal development, progenitor cells must divide repeatedly to expand the progenitor pool. During G1 and G2 of the cell cycle, progenitor cell nuclei migrate back-and-forth across the proliferative zone in a process termed interkinetic ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Electrical synaptic transmission is an essential form of interneuronal communication which is mediated by gap junctions that permit ion flow. Three gene families (connexins, innexins, and pannexins) have evolved to form gap junctional channels.
