Human Marrow Stromal Cells Enhance Connexin43 Gap Junction Intercellular Communication in Cultured Astrocytes
Human marrow stromal cells (hMSCs) provide functional benefit in rats subjected to stroke. Astrocytes are coupled into a cellular network via gap junction channels, predominantly composed of connexin-43 (Cx43) proteins. Astrocytes are believed to play a vital role in neuroprotection by providing ene...
