When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical synapses, these so-called gap junctions enable the direct exchange of ...

Gap junctions are specialised intercellular channels formed by hexameric assemblies of connexin proteins in vertebrates, and related pannexin channels that mediate paracrine signalling. Connexin ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) comprise a heterogeneous population of nanoscale, membrane-bound particles—including exosomes and microvesicles—secreted by virtually all cell types. Generated either ...
