Gap junctions may also open and close in response to metabolic signals (Figure 2, Figure 3). Cell signaling isn't just central to tissue architecture and function: It also plays an important role ...

Central to this activity are synapses, the junctions where branches of neurons connect, similar to electrical wires. Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses, ...

Current projects in the lab focus on the gap junction-dependent functions of Cx43 in adipose tissue metabolism in response to cold, β3-adrenergic receptor agonists, or other hormonal treatments that ...

This cell loss leads to impairments in motor function, and eventually death ... a soluble factor released from a cell within a cluster or gap junction communication between cells. A role for ...

The radial muscles are thought to be connected to each other by gap junctions (Florey ... morphology suggests a muscular hydrostatic function for rapid changeability. Journal of Morphology ...

In two recent papers, Penn's Alex Hughes made major strides toward the creation of artificial kidney tissue by demonstrating ...

Decide if DIY gutter guard installation is possible or if a professional install is better. Here’s all you need to know about ...

the interference between the wave function at the two sides produces a macroscopic effect: a current across the junctions (electrons tunneling across the gap)." The protocol proposed by the ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is on the rise, and developing artificial kidneys from scratch could save millions of lives ...

Regular transistors, known as Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT ... The other two pins are the Source and the Drain. This is a real gap created by silicon dioxide, the “Oxide” in MOSFET.

Boarding a train at platform 10 at Clapham Junction station, she misjudged the big gap between the train and the platform. She caught her foot and fell into the carriage breaking her leg in two ...

The Gen AI-era legal organization operates at the junction of numerous key enterprise functions ... and the digital gap is projected to widen. The digital skills gap is a human challenge, not ...
