Defective propagation of signals generated by sympathetic nerve stimulation in the liver of connexin32-deficient mice.

abstract：:In vivo phage display identifies peptides that selectively home to the vasculature of individual organs, tissues, and tumors. Here we report the identification of a cyclic nonapeptide, CPGPEGAGC, which homes to normal breast tissue with a 100-fold selectivity over nontargeted phage. The homing of the phage is inhibite...
