Role of Connexin 43 in Endothelial Cell-Induced Mural Cell Differentiation
Objective: Endothelial cell (EC)-induced mesenchymal cell (MC) differentiation toward a mural cell phenotype requires transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), cell contact and connexin 43 (Cx43)- or Cx45- heterocellular gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC). However, the identity of the co...
