Abstract excerpt
Gap junctional channels facilitate intercellular communication and in doing so may contribute to cellular differentiation. To test this hypothesis, we examined gap junction expression and function in a temperature-sensitive human fetal osteoblastic cell line (hFOB 1.19) that when cultured at 37 degrees C proliferates rapidly but when cultured at 39.5 degrees C proliferates slowly and displays increased alkaline...
