| Yale Michaels Gap Junction Inhibition Causes an Increase in Apoptosis in C6 Glioma
Division: | Sciences de la santé | Catégorie: | Junior | Région: | Winnipeg Schools | Ville: | Winnipeg, MB | École: | Grant Park High School | Sommaire: | Gap junctions are intercellular channels found throughout the body. They allow for movement of molecules between cells. I studied whether gap junctions were necessary in survival of C6 Glioma cancer cells. My results showed that inhibiting gap junctions reduced cells’ ability to survive UV. This may apply to cancer research. |
