In rat brain, expression of the gap junction protein connexin30 increased during the first 3 weeks after birth and reached its maximum after 4 weeks, as shown by analysis with specific connexin30 antibodies. This contrasts with the prenatal onset of connexin43 expression. On cryosections of rat brai
## Abstract Numerous studies have demonstrated a correlation between dysregulation/loss of connexin expression or gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) function and decreased growth control both in human tumors and tumor cell lines. Likewise, restoration of constitutive connexin expressio
Astroglial cells contribute to neuronal maintenance and function in the normal and diseased brain. Gap junctions formed predominantly by connexin43 (cx43) provide important pathways to coordinate astroglial responses. We have previously shown that fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2, which occurs ubiqu
The connexins are a family of proteins that form the intercellular membrane channels of gap junctions. Genes encoding 13 different rodent connexins have been cloned and characterized to date. Connexins vary both in their distribution among adult cell types and in the properties of the channels that
## Abstract Human ovarian surface epithelium (OSE), regarded as the precursor cell of epithelial ovarian adenocarcinoma, is not a fully developed epithelium when situated on the ovarian surface. It lacks epithelial characteristics such as the cellβcell adhesion factor epithelial (E)βcadherin, but a
