Abnormal Connexin Expression in Diabetic Skin May Lead to Delayed Wound Healing
Link ID 1685
Title Abnormal Connexin Expression in Diabetic Skin May Lead to Delayed Wound Healing
Url http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/567592?src=rss
Description The delayed healing of skin wounds often seen in individuals with diabetes appears to be caused in part by abnormal expression of gap junction proteins, also called connexins (Cxs). Further, a novel treatment using a connexin-specific antisense gel has potential therapeutic value, according to a report by British researchers in the November issue of Diabetes.
