Connexin43 and AMPK Have Essential Role in Resistance to Oxidative Stress Induced Necrosis

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced oxidative stress leads to cell damage and neurological disorders in astrocytes. The gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) could form intercellular channels in astrocytes and the expression of Cx43 plays an important role in protecting the cells from damage. In...
