RhoA GTPase switch controls Cx43-hemichannel activity through the contractile system [PDF]
, 2012 ATP-dependent paracrine signaling, mediated via the release of ATP through plasma membrane-embedded hemichannels of the connexin family, coordinates a synchronized response between neighboring cells.

Understanding Multicellularity: The Functional Organization of the Intercellular Space [PDF]
, 2019 The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework to understand how multicellular systems realize functionally integrated physiological entities by organizing their intercellular space. From a perspective centered on physiology and integration,

NcRNAs in Vascular and Valvular Intercellular Communication
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Non-coding RNAs have been shown to be important biomarkers and mediators of many different disease entities, including cardiovascular (CV) diseases like atherosclerosis, aneurysms, and valvulopathies. Growing evidence suggests a central role of ncRNAs as

Comparative Analysis of the Major Polypeptides from Liver Gap Junctions and Lens Fiber Junctions [PDF]
, 1982 Gap junctions from rat liver and fiber junctions from bovine lens have similar septilaminar profiles when examined by thin-section electron microscopy and differ only slightly with respect to the packing of intramembrane particles in freeze-fracture ...

Loss and reappearance of gap junctions in regenerating liver [PDF]
, 1978 Changes in intercellular junctional morphology associated with rat liver regeneration were examined in a freeze-fracture study. After a two-thirds partial hepatectomy, both gap junctions and zonulae occludentes were drastically altered.

Antitumor Immunity: Role of NK Cells and Extracellular Vesicles in Cancer Immunotherapy
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 The immune system plays a crucial role in recognizing and eliminating altered tumor cells. However, tumors develop mechanisms to evade the body’s natural immune defenses. Therefore, methods for specifically recognizing/targeting tumor cells, for instance,

Modeling Cell-to-Cell Communication Networks Using Response-Time Distributions. [PDF]
, 2018 Cell-to-cell communication networks have critical roles in coordinating diverse organismal processes, such as tissue development or immune cell response. However, compared with intracellular signal transduction networks, the function and engineering
