Regulation of gap junction function; the role of nitric oxide. [PDF]
, 2013 Myocardial ischemia resulting from sudden occlusion of a coronary artery is one of the major causes in the appearance of severe, often life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.

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.

Connexin 30 expression and frequency of connexin heterogeneity in astrocyte gap junction plaques increase with age in the rat retina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We investigated age-associated changes in retinal astrocyte connexins (Cx) by assaying Cx numbers, plaque sizes, protein expression levels and heterogeneity of gap junctions utilizing six-marker immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Circulation Research, 2006 See related article, pages 1216–1224 In the late 19th century microscopy and early physiological experimentation gave rise to the apparent paradox that although cardiac muscle is made up of individual cells, it behaves as a single continuous functional unit.

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.

Gap Junctions in Development [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1986 The concept of a multicellular organism as an assemblage of cells that work together harmoniously for the good of the whole organism is well established. Over the past 15 years, however, it has become increasingly clear that the individual cells of multicellular animals are not as self-sufficient and independent of each other as once had been believed.

Regulation of Connexin40 Gap Junctions [PDF]
, 2007 Gap junctions provide direct electrical and biochemical communication between cardiomyocytes in the heart. Connexin40 (Cx40) is the major connexin in the atria of the heart and little is known regarding its regulation.

Gap junction networks in mushroom bodies participate in visual learning and memory in Drosophila
eLife, 2016 Gap junctions are widely distributed in the brains across species and play essential roles in neural information processing. However, the role of gap junctions in insect cognition remains poorly understood.

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.
