Metabolic heterogeneity during preimplantation development: the missing link?
2 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Most tissues in the body rely on the presence of gap junctions in order to couple their component cells electrically and metabolically via intercellular transport of ions, metabolites and signalling agents. As a result, cells within tissues achieve a high degree of, 'metabolic homogeneity' which enables them to develop in an integrated way and co-ordinate their response to physiological signals and...
