Adenoviruses are non-enveloped, dsDNA tumor viruses responsible for a breadth of
pathogenesis including acute respiratory disease and viral myocarditis. Gap junctions …

Adenoviruses are responsible for a spectrum of pathogenesis including viral myocarditis.
The gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43, gene name GJA1) facilitates rapid propagation …

Gap junctions (GJs) comprised of Cx43 have been linked to cardiac arrhythmia and infarct
size. Cx43 GJs have been reported to occur between myocytes and fibroblasts, though the …

During each heartbeat, intercellular electrical coupling via connexin43 (Cx43) gap junctions
enables synchronous cardiac contraction. In failing hearts, impaired Cx43 trafficking reduces …

A well-balanced intercellular communication between the different cells within the
myocardium is vital for the maintenance of cardiac homeostasis and function. In the heart …

Connexin-43 (Cx43) gap junctions provide intercellular coupling, which ensures rapid action
potential propagation and synchronized heart contraction. Alterations in Cx43 localization …

Cardiac gap junctions play a critical role in intercellular communication, impulse conduction
and propagation. Gap junction remodeling and under expression are increasingly …

Classically associated with gap junction-mediated intercellular communication, connexin43
(Cx43) is increasingly recognized to possess non-canonical biological functions, including …

Myocarditis is responsible for 42% of sudden cardiac death in young adults, yet mechanisms
underlying virally induced arrhythmia remain elusive. Adenovirus is a leading etiological …

Ischemic heart disease has been associated with an impairment on intercellular
communication mediated by both gap junctions and extracellular vesicles. We have …
