The intercellular synchronization of Ca2+ oscillations evaluates Cx36-dependent coupling.
Connexin36 (Cx36) plays an important role in insulin secretion by controlling the intercellular synchronization of Ca(2+) transients induced during stimulation. The lack of drugs acting on Cx36 channels is a major limitation in further unraveling the molecular mechanism underlying this effect. To sc...
