On the relationship between velocities, tractions, and intercellular stresses in the migrating epithelial monolayer [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 101, 062405 (2020), 2020 The relationship between velocities, tractions, and intercellular stresses in the migrating epithelial monolayer are currently unknown. Ten years ago, a method known as Monolayer Stress Microscopy (MSM) was suggested from which the intercellular stresses could be computed given a traction field.

Localized modulated wave solutions in diffusive glucose-insulin systems [PDF]
Phys. Lett. A (2016), 2015 We investigate intercellular insulin dynamics in an array of diffusively coupled pancreatic islet \b{eta}-cells. The cells are connected via gap junction coupling, where nearest neighbor interactions are included. Through the multiple scale expansion in the semi-discrete approximation, we show that the insulin dynamics can be governed by the complex ...

HEXAGONAL ARRAY OF SUBUNITS IN INTERCELLULAR JUNCTIONS OF THE MOUSE HEART AND LIVER
Journal of Cell Biology, 1967 Hexagonally packed subunits have previously been observed on the surface of plasma membranes in at least two different systems. They were first described by Robertson (1) in electrical synapses of the Mauthner cells after permanganate and osmium ...

Immunocytochemical localization of the main intrinsic polypeptide (MIP) in ultrathin frozen sections of rat lens. [PDF]
, 1983 The in situ distribution of the 26-kdalton Main Intrinsic Polypeptide (MIP or MP 26), a putative gap junction protein in ocular lens fibers, was defined at the electron microscope level using indirect immunoferritin labeling of ultrathin frozen sections ...

Connexins in neurons and glia: targets for intervention in disease and injury
Neural Regeneration Research, 2015 Both neurons and glia throughout the central nervous system are organized into networks by gap junctions. Among glia, gap junctions facilitate metabolic homeostasis and intercellular communication.

Connexins : substrates and regulators of autophagy [PDF]
, 2016 Connexins mediate intercellular communication by assembling into hexameric channel complexes that act as hemichannels and gap junction channels. Most connexins are characterized by a very rapid turn-over in a variety of cell systems.

Increased Expression of Adherens Junction Components in Mouse Liver following Bile Duct Ligation
Biomolecules, 2019 Adherens junctions, consisting of cadherins and catenins, are a group of cell-to-cell junctions that mediate mechanistic linkage between neighboring cells. By doing so, adherens junctions ensure direct intercellular contact and play an indispensable role
