Gap junctions form channels between adjacent cells. The core proteins of these channels
are the connexins. Regulation of gap junction communication (GJC) can be modulated by …

Gap junctions (GJs) are the only known cellular structures that allow a direct transfer of
signaling molecules from cell-to-cell by forming hydrophilic channels that bridge the …

To study the organization of gap junctions in living cells, the connexin isotypes α1 (Cx43), β1
(Cx32) and β2 (Cx26) were tagged with the autofluorescent tracer green fluorescent protein …

Liposomes are widely utilized in molecular biology and medicine as drug carriers. Here we
report a new liposome–cell interaction through connexins. Connexin 43 (Cx43)-containing …

The coordination of tissue function is mediated by gap junctions (GJs) that enable direct cell–
cell transfer of metabolic and electric signals. GJs are formed by connexins of which Cx43 is …

Gap junction channels assemble as dodecameric complexes, in which a hexameric
connexon (hemichannel) in one plasma membrane docks end-to-end with a connexon in …

The coordination of tissue function is mediated by gap junctions (GJs) that enable direct cell‐
cell transfer of metabolic and electric signals. GJs are formed by connexin (Cx) proteins of …

When considering connexin expression and regulation, the epidermis of the skin is one of
the most complex tissues found in mammals even though it largely contains a single cell …

Gap junctions consist of clusters of intercellular channels, which enable direct cell-to-cell
communication and adhesion in animals. Whereas deuterostomes, including all vertebrates …

High‐resolution, fluorescence deconvolution (DV) microscopy was implemented to obtain a
detailed view of the organization and structural composition of gap junctions assembled …
