Anthranilate fluorescence marks a calcium-propagated necrotic wave that promotes organismal death in C. elegans.

PLoS Biology, 2013
For cells the passage from life to death can involve a regulated, programmed transition. In contrast to cell death, the mechanisms of systemic collapse underlying organismal death remain poorly understood.

Evaluating innexins quantitatively and qualitatively in the developing leech : identified neurons in Hirdudo medicinalis express unique subsets of the innexin genes / c Brandon Sarkis Kandarian [PDF]

, 2009
Gap junctions are clusters of intercellular channels which enable direct cell-to cell cytoplasmic communication both electrically and chemically. Gap junctions play an important role in determining cell fate and function during development, underlining ...

Neuroglial ATP release through innexin channels controls microglial cell movement to a nerve injury

, 2010
Microglia, the immune cells of the central nervous system, are attracted to sites of injury. The injury releases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into the extracellular space, activating the microglia, but the full mechanism of release is not known. In glial

glia encompass wing chemosensory sensilla

, 2019
International audienceThe neuroanatomy of Drosophila wing chemosensilla and the analysis of their sensory organ precursor cell lineage have demonstrated that they are surprisingly related to taste perception. The microarchitecture of wing bristles limits

Innexins: members of an evolutionarily conserved family of gap-junction proteins [PDF]

, 2005
Gap junctions are clusters of intercellular channels that provide cells, in all metazoan organisms, with a means of communicating directly with their neighbours.

Shaking B Mediates Synaptic Coupling between Auditory Sensory Neurons and the Giant Fiber of Drosophila melanogaster.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The Johnston's Organ neurons (JONs) form chemical and electrical synapses onto the giant fiber neuron (GF), as part of the neuronal circuit that mediates the GF escape response in Drosophila melanogaster.

Molecular and Biophysiological Differences in Neuronal Innexin Gap Junctions Likely Underlie Unique Circuit Behaviors in Hydra vulgaris

, 2022
Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2022Connexins, in vertebrates, and Innexins, in invertebrates, are non-homologous gene families that are both known to form functionally similar channels.

OFF-responses of interneurons optimize avoidance behaviors depending on stimulus strength via electrical synapses.

PLoS Genetics, 2018
Optimization of the types and timing of avoidance behaviors depending on the intensity of a noxious stimulus is essential for survival; however, processing in the central nervous system and its developmental basis are largely unknown.
