Gap junctions are membrane structures made of intercellular channels which permit the
diffusion from cytoplasm to cytoplasm of small hydrophilic molecules. Nearly 40 years ago …

Gap junctions are intercellular plasma membrane domains enriched in channels that allow
direct exchange of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells. Gap junction channels …

An inverse association has been observed between dietary intake of lycopene and the risk
of prostate cancer. We investigated the effects of lycopene supplementation in patients with …

The prostate gland is globally composed of epithelium and stroma. The epithelium plays an
important role in the development of both benign and malignant disorders while the stroma …

Dietary intake of lycopene is inversely associated with the risk of many cancers. Preclinical
studies show that lycopene has potent in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects, suggesting …

Male fertility is a highly controlled process that allows proliferation, meiosis and
differentiation of male germ cells in the testis, final maturation in the epididymis and also …

Gap junctions are intercellular channels formed of connexins (Cx) at appositional plasma
membranes between adjacent cells that have been involved in the control of cell …

Purpose: Gap junctions composed of connexin proteins have an essential role in
intercellular communication and differentiation. Dysregulation of connexin expression is …

Bone remains one of the major sites, and most lethal host organs, for prostate cancer
metastasis. Prostate cell spread and establishment in bone depends on multiple reciprocal …

Prostate cancer is a prevalent disease that is characterized by a presumably long latency
period and a moderate propensity to metastasize. Although a range of mechanisms have …
