For the past decade, cellular oncogenes have attracted the attention of biologists intent on
understanding the molecular origins of cancer. As the present decade unfolds, oncogenes …

Several lines of evidence indicate that the cell-cell channels in gap junction are conduits for
growth-regulating signals. Experimental upregulalion of the channels by retinoids causes …

We have examined cell coupling and expression of gap junction proteins in monolayer
cultures of cells derived from human bone marrow stromal cells (BMC) and trabecular bone …

Two types of intercellular communication (humoral and cell contact-mediated) are involved
in control of cellular function in multicellular organisms, both of them mediated by membrane …

The cell‐to‐cell channels in gap junctions, formed of proteins called connexins (Cxs),
provide a direct intercellular pathway for the passage of small signaling molecules (≤ 1 kD) …

Gap junctional intercellular communication is inhibited in response to tumor promoters and
oncogene transformation, suggesting that loss of this function is an important step in tumor …

To examine the role of gap-junctional intercellular communication in controlling cell
proliferation, we have transfected C6 glioma cells with connexin 43 cDNA. The growth of …

During the evolution of single-celled organisms to multicellular metazoans, a family of highly
conserved genes coding for proteins (connexins), which as hexameric units (connexons) …

Gap junctions are specialized membrane structures that are involved in the normal
functioning of numerous mammalian tissues and implicated in several human disease …

We demonstrate that the behavior of cells expressing v-src, a tyrosine kinase oncogene,
differs profoundly between the embryonic and culture environments. V-src was introduced …
