Scientists determine that connexin molecules allow cells to send messages to each other

Researchers have gained new knowledge of how drugs bind to connexin molecules. These molecules form channels that allow neighboring cells to send direct messages to one another. Dysfunctions of these channels are involved in neurological and cardiac diseases. The new understanding of how drugs bind and act on them should help develop therapies to treat such conditions. Researchers have gained new knowledge of how drugs bind to connexin molecules.
