Connexin45 colocalization patterns in the plexiform layers of the developing mouse retina
Abstract Chemical and electrical synapses (gap junctions) are widely prevalent in the nervous system. Gap junctions emerge long before chemical synapses, allowing communication between developing cells, and are thought to be involved in establishing neural circuits.

The infection of the European house dust mite with RNA viruses affects the expression of allergen‐related, immunity and stress‐response genes. Major allergen Der p 23 is upregulated (with ELISA titres increasing in culture extracts), whilst serine protease allergens Der p 3, 6 and 9 are downregulated (trypsin and chymotrypsin activities reduced).

During oogenesis, a group of specialized follicle cells, known as stretched cells (StCs), flatten drastically from cuboidal to squamous shape. While morphogenesis of epithelia is critical for organogenesis, genes and signaling pathways involved in this ...

Summary of the workflow developed in this study. Abstract Regeneration, the ability to replace lost body parts, is a widespread phenomenon in the animal kingdom often connected to asexual reproduction or fission, since the only difference between the two appears to be the stimulus that triggers them.

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition contributes to multiple hallmarks of cancer, including metastasis activation, metabolic reprogramming, stemness acquisition, and chronic inflammation, which is regulated by complex signaling network and is highly context dependent.

Innexin gap junctions in nerve cells coordinate spontaneous contractile behavior in Hydra polyps [PDF]
Nerve cells and spontaneous coordinated behavior first appeared near the base of animal evolution in the common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians. Experiments on the cnidarian Hydra have demonstrated that nerve cells are essential for this behavior,

Bracovirus-mediated innexin hemichannel closure in cell disassembly
Summary: Cell-cell communication is necessary for cellular immune response. Hemichannel closure disrupts communication between intracellular and extracellular environments during polydnavirus-induced immunosuppression in invertebrates.

Characterization of innexin gene expression and functional roles of gap-junctional communication in planarian regeneration [PDF]
Planaria possess remarkable powers of regeneration. After bisection, one blastema regenerates a head, while the other forms a tail. The ability of previously-adjacent cells to adopt radically different fates could be due to long-range signaling allowing ...

A role for Innexin2 and Innexin3 proteins from Spodoptera litura in apoptosis. [PDF]
Gap junctions formed by two hemichannels from two neighboring cells are cell-to-cell communication channels; hemichannels are communication channels between intracellular and extracellular environments.
