Building Relationships: A Role for Innexins in Tissue Formation.

Building Relationships: A Role for Innexins in Tissue Formation.
Dev Cell. 2020 Aug 24;54(4):428-430
Authors: Labbaf Z, Raz E
Abstract
The mechanisms that govern cell interactions during organ formation are not fully understood. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Miao et al. demonstrate a channel-independent role for gap junction proteins in the establishment of contacts between three cell types that build up the micropyle during oocyte development in Drosophila.
