Objectives Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems can resolve the poor
bioavailability issue allied with curcumin. The therapeutic potential of curcumin can be …

Direct intercellular communication via gap junctions is critical in the control and coordination
of vascular function. In the cardiovascular system, gap junctions are made up of one or more …

Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a protein expressed in a variety of mammalian tissues. However, the
lack of specific blockers and the absence of known genetic mutants have hampered the …

Gap junction channels provide an enclosed conduit for direct exchanges of signalling
molecules, including ions and small metabolites between cells. This system of …

The appearance of multicellular organisms imposed the development of several
mechanisms for cell-to-cell communication, whereby different types of cells coordinate their …

Cellular interaction in blood vessels is maintained by multiple communication pathways,
including gap junctions. They consist of intercellular channels ensuring direct interaction …

Biological tissues are fed by arterial networks whose task is to set blood flow delivery in
accordance with energetic demand. Coordinating vasomotor activity among hundreds of …

The control and maintenance of vascular tone is due to a balance between vasoconstrictor
and vasodilator pathways. Vasomotor responses to neural, metabolic and physical factors …

Background Increase of blood pressure is accompanied by functional and morphological
changes in the vascular wall. The presented study explored the effects of curcuma and black …
