Research Abstract |
Our research revealed a new role of Gap junction(formed by connexins)-mediated cell-cell communication, which is involved in drug-mediated cell injury. Furthermore, we found that hemichannel (also formed by connexins) mediated heavy metal-induced cell injury. Finally, our data suggested that skin inflammation is also mediated in part by Gap junction-mediated signal transductions, and further studies are required to definitely demonstrate such signaling pathways in skin inflammation.
