Gap junctions are specialised intercellular channels that facilitate direct communication between adjacent cells by allowing the regulated exchange of ions, second messengers and small metabolites.

Filamentous cyanobacteria represent a distinctive group of oxygenic photoautotrophs that exhibit a remarkable form of prokaryotic multicellularity. These organisms form elongated trichomes in which ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...
