E Charpantier, J Cancela, P Meda - Diabetologia, 2007 - Springer Abstract Aims/hypothesis Pancreatic beta cells are connected by gap junction channels made
of connexin 36 (Cx36), which permit intercellular exchanges of current-carrying ions (ionic
coupling) and other molecules (metabolic coupling). Previ- ous studies have suggested ... Cited by 10 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 2 versions

system (CNS) and in pancreatic β-cells, ie two types of excitable cells that share – in spite of
their different origins – a number of common features. Previous studies on Cx36 deficient ... Cited by 3 - Related articles - All 2 versions

and to exhibit glucose-induced oscillatory electrical activity, two features that were hypothetically
linked to insulin secretion. Since then, gap junctions have been shown to be an obligatory ... Related articles - All 2 versions
