Dynamic changes in connexin expression correlate with key events in the wound healing process

Wound healing is a complex process requiring communication for the precise co‐ordination of different cell types. The role of extracellular communication through growth factors in the wound healing process has been extensively documented, but the role of direct intercellular communication via gap junctions has scarcely been investigated. We have examined the dynamics of gap junction protein (Connexins 26, 30, 31.1 and 43) expression in the...
