Connexin 25 maintains self-renewal and functions of airway basal cells for airway regeneration
Abstract Background The formation of stem cell clones enables close contact of stem cells inside. The gap junctions in such clone spheres establish a microenvironment that allows frequent intercellular communication to maintain self-renewal and functions of stem cells. Nevertheless, the essential ga...
