Two main characteristics of astrocytes are their elaborated intracellular calcium signaling and their high degree of intercellular communication mediated by gap junctional channels. In these cells a number of studies have contributed to demonstrate that the combination of these two properties provid
Astrocytes are characterized by extensive intercellular communication mediated primarily by gap junction channels composed of connexin43. To examine this junctional protein in astrocytic functions, astrocytes were cultured from embryonic mice with a null mutation in the connexin43 gene (Reaume et al
To examine whether and at which stage of endometrial carcinogenesis decreased connexin expression occurs, we investigated changes in the expression of the gap junction proteins, connexin 26 (Cx26), Cx32 and Cx43, in human endometrial hyperplasia and cancer samples. Forty-eight endometrial tissue sam
## Abstract We studied the effect of extremely low frequency (ELF) currents on gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) mediated by connexin43 protein. Confluent monolayers of synovial fibroblasts (HIGβ82) and neuroblastoma cells (5Y) were exposed in bath solution to 0β75 mA/m^2^ (0β56 mV/m)
## Abstract Undifferentiated mesenchymal cells in the limb bud integrate a complex array of local and systemic signals during the process of cell condensation and chondrogenic differentiation. To address the relationship between bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling and gap junctionβmediated i
