Mind the Gaps in Tumor Immunity: Impact of Connexin-Mediated Intercellular Connections
Gap junctions (GJs)-mediated intercellular communications (GJICs) are connexin (Cx)-formed plasma membrane channels that allow for the passage of small molecules between adjacent cells, and are involved in several physiopathological processes, including immune responses against cancer. In general, t...
