Abstract excerpt
Gap-junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in 20 primary human liver tumors with different degrees of malignancy has been studied at the functional and molecular levels. When GJIC capacity was determined by dye-transfer assay performed directly with freshly removed tumor tissue, significan...
