## Abstract The expression of connexin 32 (the major liver gap junction protein) and connexin 43 (the major cardiac gap junction protein) was examined in six surgically removed human hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and the surrounding nontumorous livers using specific rat connexin probes. No decre

## Abstract Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) plays a critical role in the control of multiple cell behavior as well as in the maintenance of tissue and organ homeostasis. However, mechanisms involved in the regulation of gap junctions (GJs) have not been fully understood. Given end
The molecular mechanisms of cardiac myocyte growth are relevant to important problems in cardiovascular disease. A cell culture model has been developed to explore the role of adrenergic hormones in cardiac myocyte growth and gene expression. Activation of a cardiac myocyte alpha 1-adrenergic recept
Gap junctions are an important means for intercellular communication during development, processes of tissue differentiation, and in maintenance of adult tissue homeostasis. We investigated the expression levels and distribution of connexin-43 (Cx-43), the most abundant astrocytic gap junction prote
