Connexin43 is a member of the highly homologous connexin family of gap junction proteins. We have studied how connexin monomers are assembled into functional gap junction plaques by examining the biosynthesis of connexin43 in cell types that differ greatly in their ability to form functional gap junctions. Using a combination of metabolic radiolabeling and immunoprecipitation, we have shown tha...

In c-broadcasting, each node having the message completes up to c transmissions to its neighbors over the communication lines in one time unit. In a kfault tolerant c-broadcast network, the broadcasting process c...

COMMUNICATION Vertes et al. Rapid, non-targeted discovery of biochemical transformation and biomarker candidates in oncovirus-infected cell lines using LAESI mass spectrometry

purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two gingival finishing lines (90° shoulder and deep chamfer) on the marginal fitness of two types of full anatomic all-ceramic crowns; zirconia crowns (zikonzhan) and glass ceramic crowns (ips e-max cad) milled with cad/cam system. materials and methods: two dentoform teeth of left maxillary first molar were prepared with chamfer fini...

ion in Communication Several lines of previous research have examined characteristics of a speaker and an audience that are likely to influence the use of abstraction in communication. For example, Beukeboom (2009) Priyanka D. Joshi and Cheryl J. Wakslak, Department of Management & Organization, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern Cali-
