Cytochalasin D induces changes in cell shape and promotes in vitro chondrogenesis: a morphological study.

abstract：:Gap junctions are widely expressed in the various cell types of the central nervous system. These specialized membrane intercellular junctions provide the morphological support for direct electrical and biochemical communication between adjacent cells. This intercellular coupling is controlled by neurotransmitters and...
