Each of us made the remarkable journey from mere matter to mind: starting life as a
quiescent oocyte (“just chemistry and physics”), and slowly, gradually, becoming an adult …

The appearance of multicellular organisms imposed the development of several
mechanisms for cell-to-cell communication, whereby different types of cells coordinate their …

Previously we have reported adipose-tissue derived human mesenchymal stem cells (AT-
MSC) as cellular delivery vehicles for tumor-targeted cancer gene therapy. In this report we …

Cellular communication is important in all aspects of tissue and organism functioning, from
the level of single cells, two discreet populations, and distant tissues of the body. Long …

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 …

Published data of the last decade on the chemical analysis and related problems of
investigation of phenolic antioxidants as components of complex biomedical and food …

Bioelectric cell properties have been revealed as powerful targets for modulating stem cell
function, regenerative response, developmental patterning, and tumor reprograming. Spatio …

Communication among cells via direct cell-cell contact by connexin gap junctions, or
between cell and extracellular environment via pannexin channels or connexin …

Simple Summary Electric potential patterns across tissues are instructive for development,
regeneration, and tumorigenesis because they can influence transcription, migration, and …

Coordinated electrical activity in the heart is supported by gap junction channels located at
the intercalated discs of cardiomyocytes. Impaired gap junctional communication between …
