Now online! Brain endothelial gap junction coupling enables rapid vasodilation propagation during neurovascular coupling dlvr.it/TM00Ph
Ever wonder who your cells are talking to? Now you can find out. Plasmids to perform the non-invasive gap junction tracing described in our recent Cell study are now available from Addgene! You can find them here: addgene.org/browse/article…
We’re excited to share our recent study published in @CellCellPress! In this work, we show that brain endothelial cells, connected by gap junctions, form a signaling highway to enable fast, long-range arterial vasodilation in neurovascular coupling. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
