Connexin36 (Cx36) is broadly expressed in neurons and serves as the principal protein that forms interneuronal gap junctions (GJs), also known as electrical synapses. Recent high-resolution structures ...
In many animal tissues, stem cells continually divide to create new cells that replace old or damaged ones. However, this capacity requires strict regulation, as uncontrolled stem cell proliferation ...
Gap junctions are specialised intercellular channels formed by hexameric assemblies of connexin proteins in vertebrates, and related pannexin channels that mediate paracrine signalling. Connexin ...
Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered new mechanisms underlying cellular adhesion and repair, findings that could inform the development of new therapeutics that boost cellular repair ...
In many animal tissues, stem cells continually divide to create new cells that replace old or damaged ones. However, this capacity requires strict regulation, as uncontrolled stem cell proliferation ...
Cell-to-cell junctions were visualized by ZO1-GFP, and the dynamics of cell junctions were captured by movies. When the cells indicated by * were spontaneously stretched, a continuous belt of cell ...
