Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 and Male Infertility: Could Connexin and Pannexin Play a Role?
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on male infertility has lately received significant attention. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in humans, has been shown to impose adverse effects

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 7, July 2026.Astrocytes are key sensors and transducers of biomechanical stimuli within the central nervous system. Astrocyte development is highly dependent on mechanical stimuli such as surrounding tissue stiffness and biomechanical strain. Mechanosensory pathways including integrins, connexins and pannexins, and mechanosensitive channels regulate astrocyte ...

The biochemistry and function of pannexin channels
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2013 Three family members compose the pannexin family of channel-forming glycoproteins (Panx1, Panx2 and Panx3). Their primary function is defined by their capacity to form single-membrane channels that are regulated by post-translational modifications, channel intermixing, and sub-cellular expression profiles.

Possible role of hemichannels in cancer.
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 In humans, connexins (Cxs) and pannexins (Panxs) are the building blocks of hemichannels. These proteins are frequently altered in neoplastic cells and have traditionally been considered as tumor suppressors.

When can AlphaFold predict the oligomeric states of proteins?
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Homooligomerisation is a prevalent and important process that many proteins undergo to form the quaternary structures required for biological function. However, determining oligomeric states and structures experimentally remains technically challenging and time‐consuming for many proteins.

Connexins, Pannexins, and Their Channels in Fibroproliferative Diseases [PDF]
The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2016 Cellular and molecular mechanisms of wound healing, tissue repair, and fibrogenesis are established in different organs and are essential for the maintenance of function and tissue integrity after cell injury. These mechanisms are also involved in a plethora of fibroproliferative diseases or organ-specific fibrotic disorders, all of which are ...

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale carriers, including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, that mediate intercellular communication by transporting proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites. They regulate immunity, tissue repair, and cell differentiation.
