Less is more: minimal expression of myoendothelial gap junctions optimizes cell–cell communication in virtual arterioles
Key points Electrical signalling in blood vessels is important in acute and long‐term flow
regulation. As myoendothelial gap junctions (MEGJs) provide electrical contacts between …

Signaling across myoendothelial gap junctions—fact or fiction?
C de Wit, M Boettcher, VJ Schmidt - Cell communication & …, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
Gap junctions interconnect vascular cells homocellularly, thereby allowing the spread of
signals along the vessel wall, which serve to coordinate vessel behavior. In addition, gap …

Intrinsic regulation of microvascular tone by myoendothelial feedback circuits
HAL Lemmey, CJ Garland, KA Dora - Current Topics in Membranes, 2020 - Elsevier
The endothelium is an important regulator of arterial vascular tone, acting to release nitric
oxide (NO) and open Ca 2+-activated K+(K Ca) channels to relax vascular smooth muscle …
