Gap Junctions in the Nervous System: Probing Functional Connections Using New Imaging Approaches
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Gap junctions are channels that physically connect adjacent cells, mediating the rapid exchange of small molecules, and playing an essential role in a wide range of physiological processes in nearly every system in the body, including the nervous system.

Gap resonance in the classical dynamics of the current-biased Josephson tunnel junctions
Physical Review Research, 2021 This paper reports a novel time-domain expression for the current-response kernels of a Josephson tunnel junction between BCS superconductors with in general different energy gaps, and its use to simulate the classical dynamics of such junctions.

Distinct roles for innexin gap junctions and hemichannels in mechanosensation
eLife, 2020 Mechanosensation is central to a wide range of functions, including tactile and pain perception, hearing, proprioception, and control of blood pressure, but identifying the molecules underlying mechanotransduction has proved challenging.

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.

Regulation of neuronal axon specification by glia-neuron gap junctions in C. elegans
eLife, 2016 Axon specification is a critical step in neuronal development, and the function of glial cells in this process is not fully understood. Here, we show that C.

Cytoplasmic sharing through apical membrane remodeling
eLife, 2020 Multiple nuclei sharing a common cytoplasm are found in diverse tissues, organisms, and diseases. Yet, multinucleation remains a poorly understood biological property. Cytoplasm sharing invariably involves plasma membrane breaches.
