## 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
## Abstract Connexin43 (Cx43) is a ubiquitously expressed member of the gap junction protein family that mediates gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) by allowing exchange of cytosolic materials. Previous studies have used Cx43 truncated at the cytoplasmic tail (C‐tail) to demonstrate th
Cell culture studies have revealed that metabolic functions of the adult hepatocyte are related to cell density. Development of the glycogenic response to insulin under glucocorticoid control was investigated in 15-and 18-dayold fetal rat hepatocytes plated at different cell densities. After culturi
## Abstract Additive effects against tumor cells might be achieved by combining anti‐neoplastic agents directed against one or more altered mechanisms in cancer. We investigated the participation of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC), which is commonly dysfunctional in tumor cells as
