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 The composition of the extracellular matrix changes during dermal repair. Initially, hyaluronan (HA) concentration is high, however, by day 3, HA is eliminated. HA optimizes collagen organization within granulation tissue. One possible mechanism of HA modulation of collagen packing is t
The modulation of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) plays an important role during tumor promotion. Several tumor-promoting agents are known t o inhibit this form o f cellular coupling. In addition, tumor cells and cells expressing certain oncogenic products have been shown t o exhib
