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).

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.

, 2008 The inaccessibility of osteocytes due to their embedment in the calcified bone matrix in vivo has precluded direct demonstration that osteocytes use gap junctions as a means of intercellular communication.

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.

Gap junction-mediated regulation of endothelial cellular stiffness
Scientific Reports, 2017 Endothelial monolayers have shown the ability to signal each other through gap junctions. Gap junction-mediated cell-cell interactions have been implicated in the modulation of endothelial cell functions during vascular inflammation.

Gap junctions: historical discoveries and new findings in the Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system
Biology Open, 2020 Gap junctions are evolutionarily conserved structures at close membrane contacts between two cells. In the nervous system, they mediate rapid, often bi-directional, transmission of signals through channels called innexins in invertebrates and connexins ...

Dynamic changes in connexin expression correlate with key events in the wound healing process. [PDF]
, 2003 Wound healing is a complex process requiring communication for the precise co-ordination of different cell types. The role of extracellular communication through growth factors in the wound healing process has been extensively documented, but the role of

eLife, 2022 Gap-junctional signaling mediates myriad cellular interactions in metazoans. Yet, how gap junctions control the positioning of cells in organs is not well understood. Innexins compose gap junctions in invertebrates and affect organ architecture. Here, we

Gap junctions modulate interkinetic nuclear movement in retinal progenitor cells
, 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 ...
