Abstract excerpt
Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) and connexin expression are often altered during cell migration, growth, and transformation, each of which is accompanied by cytoskeletal reorganization. Recently, transfection of fibroblast cells with various isoforms of the receptor for hyaluron...
