In mice that had previously suffered a heart attack, the Connexin 43 gene was introduced with a virus, resulting in the expression of Connexin 43 by scar cells that are normally electrically silent.

They found that changes in occludin and connexin 43 expression were consistent with the development of brain edema, and may reflect the pathogenesis of brain injury. These findings were published ...

A lab-designed molecule developed and extensively studied could represent a breakthrough in slowing tumor recurrence in glioblastoma, an aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer.

The region, however, is complex from a functional standpoint and is likely more heterogeneous in terms of connexin expression. It is further complicated by the fact that connexins are composed of ...

Gap junctions are pores between adjacent cells constituted by connexin (Cxs) proteins that provide a means ... in response to cAMP signaling in various cell types (i.e., heart, liver, and placenta).

A lab-designed molecule developed and extensively studied by scientists with Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC could represent a breakthrough in slowing tumor recurrence in ...

They found that changes in occludin and connexin 43 expression were consistent with the development of brain edema, and may reflect the pathogenesis of brain injury. These findings were published ...
