The development and evolution of any system–person, organization–nation depends on how the system succeeds to bridge the gap between what the system knows and what the system does (with the knowledge). We call this the gap between knowing and doing or the knowing-doing gap. If the system does not do what it knows, it will lose out in competition with other systems, its relative performance in...
متن کاملEvaluation role of beta-2 adrenoceptor agonist and antagonist in the expression of gap junction genes (connexin 37/43) in cumulus cells of women with poor ovarian response
Background: Connexon is a membrane structural protein in the gap junctions. These cellular connections are responsible for transporting ions and messenger molecules to the oocyte. This study aimed to investigate the role of beta-2-adrenoceptors in the process of follicle growth based on the expression of the two connexins 37/43 in the gap junctions that have a primary role in the mitotic resump...
متن کاملGap junctions: Getting the message through
Connexin proteins make intercellular channels - gap junctions - which provide a direct pathway for cell-cell signaling in vertebrates. Studies of mice lacking connexin genes have demonstrated the need for intercellular transfer of messenger molecules and are uncovering the specific functions of each connexin.
متن کاملConnexin-43: A possible mediator of heat stress effects on ram Sertoli cells
Sertoli cells are an essential group of cells in seminiferous epithelium which provide nutritional and structural supports for spermatogenic cells via cell junctions. In this study, the gene expression of connexin-43, the most abundantly distributed gap junction protein of cells, was investigated in ram Sertoli cells under mild and severe heat stresses with real-time quantitative PCR. Sertoli c...
متن کاملبررسی موتاسیون های شایع ژن های GJB2 و GJB6 در مبتلایان به بیماری ناشنوایی غیرسندرومی اتوزومی مغلوب در منطقه‌ی آذربایجان شرقی
Background and Objective: Profound hearing loss is one of the most prevalent congenital disorders affecting about 1 in 1000 newborns. Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is the predominant form of the severe inherited childhood deafness. This type of hearing loss in one-half of the cases is caused by mutations in GJB2 (connexin 26) and GJB6 (connexin 30) genes located at DFN...
