Gap junction protein connexin43 deregulation contributes to bladder carcinogenesis via targeting MAPK pathway
High expression of connexins was found in a variety of cancers, but their role is still controversial. We investigated whether connexin43 (Cx43) contributed to bladder carcinogenesis through MAPK activation. I...
