Variations in Gap Junctional Intercellular Communication and Connexin Expression in Fibroblasts Derived from Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars
9 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Expression of connexins and other constituent proteins of gap junctions along with gap junctional intercellular communication are involved in cellular development and differentiation processes. In addition, an increasing number of hereditary skin disorders appear to be linked to connexins. Therefore, in this report, the authors studied in vitro gap junctional intercellular communication function and...
