GAP JUNCTIONS, HEMICHANNELS AND CONNEXINS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE NEUROVASCULAR UNIT

Recent advances have come to suggest that connexins (Cxs), the core gap junction (GJs) and hemichannels (HCs) composing proteins, play a crucial role in neurodegenerative and neuroprotective conditions. GJs and HCs syncytia in the complex neuroglial network allows glial cells to support and even mod...
