Gap junctions are essential to the function of multicellular animals, which require a high
degree of coordination between cells. In vertebrates, gap junctions comprise connexins and …

Acute wound healing is an orderly process of four overlapping events: haemostasis,
inflammation, proliferation and remodelling. A drug delivery system with a temporal control …

Cold plasma has been successfully applied in several fields of medicine that require, for
example, pathogen inactivation, implant functionalization or alteration of cellular activity …

While gap junctions support the exchange of a number of molecules between neighboring
cells, connexin hemichannels provide communication between the cytosol and the …

Abstract Connexin-43 (Cx43), a predominant cardiac connexin, forms gap junctions (GJs)
that facilitate electrical cell–cell coupling and unapposed/nonjunctional hemichannels that …

Gap junctions (GJ) and hemichannels (HC) formed from the protein subunits called
connexins are transmembrane conduits for the exchange of small molecules and ions …

Adipose tissue‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC s) are multipotent and can
differentiate into various cell types, including osteocytes, adipocytes, neural cells, vascular …

Inflammation may be caused by a variety of factors and is a hallmark of a plethora of acute
and chronic diseases. The purpose of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cell injury …

Over the past several decades a large amount of data have established that glial cells, the
main cell population in the brain, dynamically interact with neurons and thus impact their …

Connexin mimetic peptides (CxMPs), such as Gap26 and Gap27, are known as inhibitors of
gap junction channels but evidence is accruing that these peptides also inhibit …
