Enhancement of Connexin 43 Expression Increases Proliferation and Differentiation of an Osteoblast-like Cell Line

Bone cells form a functional syncytium as they are coupled by gap junctions composed mainly of connexin 43 (Cx43). To further understand the role of Cx43 in bone cell growth and differentiation, we stably transfected Cx45-expressing UMR 106-01 cells with Cx43 using an expression vector containing ra...
