Connexin β£ 3 (Cx46 or Gja3) gene targeted null mice developed lens nuclear cataracts shortly after birth. A large variance in the cataracts was observed in β£ 3 null sibs on a mixed 129SvJae Ο« C57BL/6J F3 background. This suggested that the genetic background might influence the cataract phenotype. T
## 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
Cajal proposed that the rearrangement and growth of neurites and synaptic terminals is a substrate for the formation and storage of long-term memories. Proteins that regulate this learning-dependent growth are therefore likely to be "core determinants" (Sanes and Lichtman, Nat Neurosci 1999; 2:597-6
