Connexin cell communication channels : roles in the immune system and immunopathology /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Plasma membrane-associated channels known as gap junctions, along with their protein building blocks-connexins-have an important functional role in a range of immunological processes, including heart function, cell growth and specialization, and early development. Spanning basic science and potentia...
