Mechanical loading is an important factor in musculoskeletal health and disease. Tendons
and ligaments require physiological levels of mechanical loading to develop and maintain …

Neurons and glia maintain central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis through diverse
mechanisms of intra-and intercellular signaling. Some of these interactions include the …

Homoeostasis depends on the close connection and intimate molecular exchange between
extracellular, intracellular and intercellular networks. Intercellular communication is largely …

Gap junction channels (GJCs) mediate intercellular communication and are gated by
numerous conditions such as pH. The electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) structure of Cx26 …

Evidence that neighboring cells uncouple from each other as one dies surfaced in the late
19th century, but it took almost a century for scientists to start understanding the uncoupling …

Neuroglia are a large class of neural cells of ectodermal (astroglia, oligodendroglia, and
peripheral glial cells) and mesodermal (microglia) origin. Neuroglial cells provide …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is mainly produced as a by-product from electron transport
chain (ETC) of mitochondria and effectively eliminated by cellular antioxidants. However, 2 …

Simple Summary Different connexins play diverse roles in cancers, either tumor-
suppressing or tumor-promoting. In lung cancer, Cx43 serves as a tumor suppressor at the …
