Gap junctions are specialised intercellular channels that facilitate direct communication between adjacent cells by allowing the regulated exchange of ions, second messengers and small metabolites.

For years, scientists have focused their attention on the pancreas’ insulin-producing beta cells and left small clusters of ...

A new study by the University of California, Davis, shows how cells work together to avoid a sudden drop in blood sugar. Understanding these feedback loops could improve the lives of people with ...

New research reveals how triple-negative breast tumors use fatty tissue to fuel growth, highlighting the role of gap junctions in tumorigenesis. Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) within fatty ...

Adeno-associated virus vector containing an adenine base editor provides an effective strategy to treat hereditary hearing loss caused by the R75W mutation. Moreover, this gene editing technology can ...

Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) have more aggressive, invasive tumors and fewer treatment options than other kinds of breast cancers. TNBC tumors use fatty acid oxidation as a key ...
