Introduction T HERE are a number of recent reviews on gap junctions and their ability to
mediate contact-dependent cell-to-cell communication (1–11). Each of these articles has its …

Plasmodesmata are highly specialized gatable trans-wall channels that interconnect
contiguous cells and function in direct cytoplasm-to-cytoplasm intercellular transport …

The coding sequence (333 amino acids) of a new connexin protein, designated mouse
connexin37 (Cx37 or Cx37. 6) due to the deduced theoretical molecular mass of 37.600 kD …

Connexin genes code for proteins that form cell-to-cell channels known as gap junctions.
The genes for the known connexins 26, 32, 43, and 46 have been assigned to human …

Retinoids are affective modulators of proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes in vivo
and in Vitro. In mouse 10T1/2 cells, retinoid action on proliferation and neoplastic …

Three different PCB-congeners 3, 4, 5, 3′, 4′-pentachlorobiphenyl (IUPAC no. 126), 2, 4,
5, 2′, 4′, 5′-hexachlorobiphenyl (IUPAC no. 153) and 2, 4, 5, 3′, 4 …

An organismic concept of land plants is outlined, which is based on a synthesis of plant
morphology and plant anatomy. The entire plant, the living unity, is conceived as the …

Nobel Laureate. It is quite probable that life was originated in shallow Archean seas in
consequence of eruption of magna through cracks on earth's crust and that submarine hot …

The existence of direct communicating channels between cells was originally postulated
from observations of electrical conductance between apposed cells as well as from results of …

Antibodies against the main proteins in hepatic gap junctions—connexin-26 and connexin-
32—have been used in conjunction with high-resolution patch-clamp techniques to …
