## Abstract Gap junction channels, formed by connexins (Cx), are involved in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis, cell growth, differentiation, and development. Several studies have shown that Cx43 is involved in the control of wound healing in dermal tissue. However, it remains unknown whether C
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key mediators in extra‐cellular matrix remodelling and implicated primarily in bone growth, and particularly in osteoclastic bone resorption. We hypothesise that MMPs have a role in the increased bone remodelling resulting from oestrogen deficiency.
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
