Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 1524-1542, 1 March 2026.Abstract Ageing is a risk factor for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The myogenic response in resistance arteries is responsible for basal (myogenic) tone and blood flow autoregulation. G‐protein‐coupled receptors and G12/RhoA/Rho kinase are implicated in myogenic tone (MT), and we aimed to clarify their role in pressure sensing and ...

Mind the gap: connexins and pannexins in platelet function
Platelets, 2021 Connexins are a family of gap junction forming proteins widely expressed by mammalian cells. They assemble into hexameric hemichannels, which can either function independently or dock with opposing hemichannels on apposite cells, forming a gap junction ...

Neural Regeneration Research, 2021 Compounds that block the function of connexin and pannexin protein channels have been suggested to be valuable therapeutics for a range of diseases. Some of these compounds are now in clinical trials, but for many of them, the literature is inconclusive ...

Connexins and Pannexins in cerebral ischemia
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2018 A common cause of mortality and long-term adult disability, cerebral ischemia or brain ischemia imposes a significant health and financial burden on communities worldwide. Cerebral ischemia is a condition that arises from a sudden loss of blood flow and consequent failure to meet the high metabolic demands of the brain. The lack of blood flow initiates

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.This review systematically deconstructs the pathological efferocytic—metabolic axis in tumours, framing it as a three‐stage, self‐reinforcing cycle: from metabolite‐driven macrophage recruitment, through hijacked surface recognition, to post‐phagocytic metabolic reprogramming that locks in immunosuppression.

Biomedicines, 2022 Cell-to-cell communication is essential for proper embryonic development and its dysfunction may lead to disease. Recent research has drawn attention to a new group of molecules called connexins (Cxs) and pannexins (Panxs).

Knockout of Pannexin-1 Induces Hearing Loss [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Mutations of gap junction connexin genes induce a high incidence of nonsyndromic hearing loss. Pannexin genes also encode gap junctional proteins in vertebrates. Recent studies demonstrated that Pannexin-1 (Panx1) deficiency in mice and mutation in humans are also associated with hearing loss.

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 2, February 2026.Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) impairment plays a central role in driving the pathogenesis of metabolism‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Specifically, this is manifested as reduced mitophagy; increased mitochondrial fission and decreased fusion; and impaired mitochondrial biogenesis.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Pannexin2 (Panx2) is the largest of three members of the pannexin proteins. Pannexins are topologically related to connexins and innexins, but serve different functional roles than forming gap junctions.

Genes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 25, Issue 1, February 2026.Buccal ganglia inter‐ and motoneuronal transcriptional changes were investigated after learning food is inedible (LFI) in Aplysia californica reared on different diets at two ages. Those reared on calorie restriction showed delayed signs of aging and maintained their performance in LFI when aged while those reared on ad‐lib did not. ABSTRACT Along with
