The intercellular signaling system mediated by connexin channels is crucial for maintaining
tissue homeostasis, growth control, development, and synchronized response of cells to …

Gap junctions (GJs) are aqueous channels that allow cells to communicate via physiological
signals directly. The role of gap junctional connectivity in determining single‐cell functions …

Planaria possess remarkable powers of regeneration. After bisection, one blastema
regenerates a head, while the other forms a tail. The ability of previously-adjacent cells to …

It is nowadays well established that gap junctions are critical gatekeepers of cell
proliferation, by controlling the intercellular exchange of essential growth regulators. In …

We examined the influence of connexin (Cx) expression on the development of apoptosis in
HeLa parental cells (coupling deficient cell line) and HeLa cells expressing wild-type Cx43 …

The gap junction protein connexin 26 (Cx26) has been detected previously in the
parenchyma of the developing brain and in the developing and adult meninges, but there is …

Connexin (Cx) genes have a negative growth effect on tumour cells with certain specificity.
However, it is not clear whether each Cx gene can act similarly in growth control …

Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental pollutant of increasing importance, due to
industrialization, smoking, and the lack of effective therapy for Cd poisoning. The general …

Unwanted childlessness affects approximately one in six couples worldwide.-though the
exact proportion of the predominant cause of the problem remains controversial, according …

Background GJB2 plays an essential role in the growth and progression of several cancers.
However, asystematic pan-cancer analysis of GJB2 is lacking. Therefore, in this study, we …
