Description:
Article Hemichannels and gap junctions containing the connexin Cx37 are required for platelet functions such as aggregation and granule secretion through poorly defined mechanisms. Vaiyapuri et al . show that Cx40 is also required and can act independently of Cx37 in mouse platelets. Nature Communications doi: 10.1038/ncomms3564 Authors: Sakthivel Vaiyapuri, Leonardo A. Moraes, Tanya Sage, Marfoua S. Ali, Kirsty R. Lewis, Martyn P. Mahaut-Smith, Ernesto Oviedo-Orta, Alexander M. Simon, Jonathan M. Gibbins
