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 ...

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2026.How collective cell migration starts and stops is a fundamental question but remains poorly understood. This review discusses the distinct mechanisms in in vivo models and cancer metastasis that define the regulatory pathways and collective features governing the initiation and termination of collective cell migration.

A Gap Junction Protein, Inx2, Modulates Calcium Flux to Specify Border Cell Fate during Drosophila oogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Intercellular communication mediated by gap junction (GJ) proteins is indispensable during embryogenesis, tissue regeneration and wound healing. Here we report functional analysis of a gap junction protein, Innexin 2 (Inx2), in cell type specification ...

Nature Communications, 2023 FMRFamides are evolutionarily conserved neuropeptides that play critical roles in behavior, energy balance, and reproduction. Here, we show that FMRFamide signaling from the nervous system is critical for the rhythmic activation of a single cell of ...

Cloning and Expression of Hydra Innexin 2, a Gap Junction Protein Required for Coordinated Contraction of the Body Column [PDF]
, 2020 In invertebrates gap junctions are formed by the innexin family of proteins. Remarkably, the genome of Hydra magnipapillata contains 17 innexin genes. This study focused on Hydra innexin-2 (h-Inx2) which is expressed in nerve cells and plays a role in ...

Innexins: Expression, Regulation, and Functions
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 The innexin (Inx) proteins form gap junction channels and non-junctional channels (named hemichannels) in invertebrates. These channels participate in cellular communication playing a relevant role in several physiological processes.

An Innexin-Dependent Cell Network Establishes Left-Right Neuronal Asymmetry in C. elegans [PDF]
, 2007 SummaryGap junctions are widespread in immature neuronal circuits, but their functional significance is poorly understood. We show here that a transient network formed by the innexin gap-junction protein NSY-5 coordinates left-right asymmetry in the ...
