Influence of connexin expression/co-expression levels on electrical impulse propagation investigated in the HL-1 cell model

In the myocardium action potentials are transmitted from cell-to-cell through gap junctions. These specialised junctions play a pivotal role in regulating the speed and safety of impulse propagation by controlling the amount of depolarised current that is passed from excited to non-excited regions o...
