1.
Falk M, Kells R, Berthoud V
FEBS Lett . 2014 Feb; 588(8):1221-9. PMID: 24486527
Connexin proteins are short-lived within the cell, whether present in the secretory pathway or in gap junction plaques. Their levels can be modulated by their rate of degradation. Connexins, at...

Fong J, Kells R, Falk M
Mol Biol Cell . 2013 Jul; 24(18):2834-48. PMID: 23885125
Gap junction (GJ) channels that electrically and chemically couple neighboring cells are formed when two hemichannels (connexons) of apposed cells dock head-on in the extracellular space. Remarkably, docked connexons are...

Thevenin A, Kowal T, Fong J, Kells R, Fisher C, Falk M
Physiology (Bethesda) . 2013 Mar; 28(2):93-116. PMID: 23455769
Gap junctions (GJs) are the only known cellular structures that allow a direct cell-to-cell transfer of signaling molecules by forming densely packed arrays or "plaques" of hydrophilic channels that bridge...

Falk M, Fong J, Kells R, OLaughlin M, Kowal T, Thevenin A
J Membr Biol . 2012 Jul; 245(8):465-76. PMID: 22825714
Gap junctions (GJs) are composed of tens to many thousands of double-membrane spanning GJ channels that cluster together to form densely packed channel arrays (termed GJ plaques) in apposing plasma...

Fong J, Kells R, Gumpert A, Marzillier J, Davidson M, Falk M
Autophagy . 2012 May; 8(5):794-811. PMID: 22635056
Direct intercellular communication mediated by gap junctions (GJs) is a hallmark of normal cell and tissue physiology. In addition, GJs significantly contribute to physical cell-cell adhesion. Clearly, these cellular functions...
