The formation of intracellular ice (IIF), usually a lethal event to be avoided when cryopreserving cells, should, however, be enforced during the cryosurgical destruction of tumour cells. IIF has been investigated so far only in single cells in suspension. Because cells in tissues cannot be

Cardiac gap junction channels play the important roles of synchronizing pacemaker cells and allowing impulse propagation along the conduction system and throughout the ventricular myocardium. These channels, which support current flow in both longitudinal and tranverse directions, are permeable to

Among their numerous functions, gap junctions play a crucial role in proliferation, differentiation and secretion processes, although their existence and potential role in ion secretion in human pancreatic ducts have yet to be established. To investigate the morphogenesis and the role of gap

Gap junction channels, assembled from connexins, mediate communication and signaling between adjacent cells by allowing the passage of ions, metabolites and signaling molecules. Their physiological significance and importance in cellular homeostasis is reflected by the fact that their dysfunction

The leaf essential oil of an undescribed species of Myrcianthes has been obtained from Monteverde, Costa Rica. The essential oil exhibits in vitro cytotoxic activity against Hep-G2 and SK-Mel-28 human tumor cell lines. A GC/MS analysis shows the essential oil to be composed of 2-heptanol,
