Effective protection of rabbits' explosive brain injury through blocking gap junction communication.
BACKGROUND The gap junction plays an important role in spreading of apoptotic and necrotic signals from injured and stressed cells to the neighboring viable cells. The present study was performed to investigate the important role of gap junction communication on rabbits' explosive brain injury. METHODS Explosion of paper detonators was used to create explosive brain injury model in 60 rabbits...
متن کاملThe Gap Junction Communication Channel
Communication plays an important role in the rapid Connexin Structure progress of modern society. We live in an age when Gap junctions exhibit a hierarchy of assembly. The prininformation is transmitted through many different pathcipal structural component, the membrane protein conways and in many different forms to influence our daily nexin, is organized into the basic unit of structure, the d...
متن کاملAssembly of gap junction intercellular communication channels.
788 with a lipidlprotein molar ratio of 100:1, a value close to that found in most biological membranes [21]. The data show that the calculation of distances between sites within the monomer of a membrane protein of a cross-sectional diameter of 5 nm based only from FET efficiency measurements is largely speculative in most cases in native biological membranes. Because the contribution of FET t...
متن کاملConcussive brain injury from explosive blast
OBJECTIVE Explosive blast mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is associated with a variety of symptoms including memory impairment and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Explosive shock waves can cause hippocampal injury in a large animal model. We recently reported a method for detecting brain injury in soldiers with explosive blast mTBI using magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI)....
متن کاملGap junction-mediated intercellular communication between dendritic cells (DCs) is required for effective activation of DCs.
Gap junctions, formed by members of the connexin (Cx) family, are intercellular channels allowing direct exchange of signaling molecules. Gap junction-mediated intercellular communication (GJIC) is a widespread mechanism for homeostasis in organs. GJIC in the immune system is not yet fully understood. Although dendritic cells (DC) reportedly form cell-to-cell contact between DCs in nonlymphoid ...
