    Microarray-based screening system identifies temperature-controlled activity of Connexin 26 that is distorted by mutations

    Here, we show that human Connexin 26 (hCx26 or Cx26WT) hemichannel opening rapidly enables the transport of small molecules when triggered by temperature and by compensation of the Ca2+ blockade with EDTA. Point ...
