Abstract
The repair of tissue damage is a key survival process in all organisms and involves the coordinated activation of several cell types. Cell-cell communication is clearly fundamental to this process, and a great deal is known about extracellular communication within the wound site via cytokines [1, 2]. Here we show that direct cell-cell communication through connexin 43 (Cx43) gap junction channels [3, 4] also plays a major role in the wound...
