Gap junctional communication and carcinogenesis
Open accessAbstract
It is widely accepted that the process by which a normal cell becomes a malignant tumour is multistage (Doll, 1978; Yamasaki and Weinstein, 1985). It is possible that cell growth is such a tightly controlled process that multiple events are needed in order for a normal cell to deviate so markedly as to be potentially cancerous. Since one of the most important control mechanisms of cell growth and differentiation is intercellular communication, it is reasonable to suppose that aberrant intercellular communication is involved at certain stages of carcinogenesis. Gap junction-mediated intercellular communication is considered to be the sole means by which low molecular weight factors inside a cell can pass directly into the interior of neighbouring cells (Pitts and Finbow, 1986; Loewenstein, 1979). By equalizing the intracellular levels of growth-related factors, gap junctions are considered to play an essential role in the maintenance of homeostasis (Pitts and Finbow, 1986; Loewenstein, 1979).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
