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.

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

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 ...

Understanding the Molecular and Cell Biological Mechanisms of Electrical Synapse Formation
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2020 In this review article, we will describe the recent advances made towards understanding the molecular and cell biological mechanisms of electrical synapse formation. New evidence indicates that electrical synapses, which are gap junctions between neurons,

Gap Junctions Contribute to the Regulation of Walking-Like Activity in the Adult Mudpuppy (Necturus Maculatus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Although gap junctions are widely expressed in the developing central nervous system, the role of electrical coupling of neurons and glial cells via gap junctions in the spinal cord in adults is largely unknown.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.

AGE-BSA down-regulates endothelial connexin43 gap junctions
BMC Cell Biology, 2011 Background Advanced glycation end products generated in the circulation of diabetic patients were reported to affect the function of vascular wall. We examined the effects of advanced glycation end products-bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) on endothelial ...
