The intercalated discs that connect cardiomyocytes control cell-to-cell adhesion and communication. Several macromolecular structures (desmosomes, fascia adherens junctions, gap junctions, and ...

From the well known Gap junctions (small channels between cells) to the lesser known desmosomes (anchor points of contact between cells), there are many ways in which cells can interact. Keeping track ...

Electrical transmission through gap junctions forms a rapid form of inter-neuronal communication in the CNS. Gap junctions are expressed by each of the five major neuron types in the retina and thus ...
