In summary, the present data further supports our earlier finding that osteoclasts have functional gap junctions, which are important for osteoclastic function and survival.
This functional gap results in wasteful duplication of work as users implement topes that other people have already created.
The new Gmail app looks a lot closer to Google's new Inbox mail client than did the existing version, but there's still a significant functional gap between the two products.
The transfer of the dye Lucifer Yellow (LY) between cells showed that cells aggregated on cellulose substratum rapidly (within 90 min) establish functional gap junctions.
Moreover, the rapid sequence of events during the progress of the 2009 pandemic influenza revealed a functional gap between present methods used for outbreak detection and pandemic forecasting.
Our observation is in agreement with other reports, showing that the functional gap persists for several weeks following experimentally induced injury [58].
However, in the co-culture of cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts, the heterogeneous cell types form functional gap junctions, providing a substrate for electrical coupling of distant myocytes, interconnected by fibroblasts.
We further demonstrate the capacity of the CPC-derived cardiomyocytes to form functional gap junctions, propagate action potentials over a relatively large area, and electrically and mechanically connect with primary ventricular cardiomyocytes in culture.
Functional gap junction proteins (including Cx43 and Cx36) have been identified in neural and embryonic stem cells and they are thought to play an important role in cell survival and differentiation [13].
Endothelial and epithelial cells express connexins and form functional gap junctions with each other.
AS160 has a functional GAP domain, which remains active in the basal state [ 3, 4, 31].
