Signaling through gap junctions (electrical synapses ... action potentials and the calcium–cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB), and are accelerated by CREB overexpression.

Statin drugs interact with a gap junction protein called GJC3 that releases ATP, a major signaling molecule for inflammation in the body, new research shows. This discovery provides a significant ...

Forsyth scientists have found that gap-junction (microscopic tunnels directly linking neighboring cells) communication contributes to this signaling. This research, led by Dr. Michael Levin ...

We found PKA to be part of a macromolecular signaling complex with ezrin and gap junction protein Cx43 that provides cAMP-mediated control of gap junction communication. We established that an ...

Cell Signaling and Metabolism: Bridging a Gap in Cancer Therapies from thescientistllc on Vimeo. That cancer cells display an altered metabolism has been known for almost a century, but the ...

"We have shown that the neurons form small channels called gap junctions, which create a direct connection between the neurons and enable the exchange of important biochemical molecules ...

In cell signaling, calcium is king. The flux of calcium ions across cell membranes regulates cellular activities from muscle contraction to neuron firing to immune cell function. A talk I saw here at ...

Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine ...

It is vital to the regulation of cell activities through its role as a second messenger. Calcium signaling is the process whereby low cytoplasmic concentrations are deliberately increased to ...

Using a calcium indicator, the team uncovered novel cellular behaviors tied to electrical signaling, shedding light on how early multicellular organisms sensed and responded to environmental stimuli.
