...Victoria Hyland; M. Kathryn Iovine ABSTRACT This study provides new insights into the molecular pathways dictating skeletal patterning during zebrafish fin regeneration. Connexin43 (Cx43) is known to influence skeletal patterning by inhibiting evx1 expression and thereby regulating the timing...

... (CCs) and oocytes in coordinating the gonadotropin-induced meiotic maturation of oocytes. Of all proteins that constitute GJs, phosphorylated connexin43 (pCx43) is vital for mediating the actions of gonadotropins. In this study, the mechanism of Cx43 phosphorylation in response to follicle stimulating...
