Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence indicates that gap junctions, primarily composed of connexin 43 (Cx43), are distributed extensively throughout bone. We have previously reported that in osteoblastic cells parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases both the steady-state levels of transcripts for Cx43 and gap-junctional intercellular communication in a process involving cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). We now present data...
