Although gap junctions are not known to be important in mediating cell-cell interactions amongst migratory cells, our studies showed that the connexin 43 (Cx43) gap junction gene is widely expressed in mouse neural crest cell lineages. Using in situ hybridization analysis, Cx43 expression was detect

## Abstract The influence of mast cells upon aberrant wound repair and excessive fibrosis has supportive evidence, but the mechanism for these mast cell activities is unclear. It is proposed that heterocellular gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) between fibroblasts and mast cells direc
## Abstract Many studies have correlated reductions in gap junctional intercellular communication (a) with altered cellular growth, tumor promotion, and neoplastic transformation. To test directly whether reduced GJIC affects cellular growth, GJIC was inhibited in murine BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts by t
## Background: Gap junctional communication (gjc) has been implicated in the control of cell proliferation. numerous cancer cells show a decrease or loss of gjc compared to their normal counterparts. lack of adequate information on the status of gap junctions during prostate neoplasia prompted us t

Gap junctional communication (GJC) between contacting cells has been postulated to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. This suggestion stems from numerous studies showing modulation of GJC by agents that influence cellular proliferation. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a stro
