## Abstract Gap junctions form channels that allow exchange of materials between cells and are composed of transmembrane protein subunits called connexins. While connexins are believed to mediate cellular signaling by permitting intercellular communication to occur, there is also increasing evidenc

## Abstract The formation of new blood vessels is a prerequisite for bone healing. CYR61 (CCN1), an extracellular matrix‐associated signaling protein, is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis and mesenchymal stem cell expansion and differentiation. A recent study showed that CYR61 is expressed during
## Abstract The matricellular SPARC‐family member hevin (Sparc‐like 1/SPARCL‐1/SC1/Mast9) contributes to neural development and alters tumor progression in a range of mammalian models. Based on sequence similarity, we hypothesized that proteolytic digestion of hevin would result in SPARC‐like fragm
