Abstract

The individual cells within a multicellular organism do not operate autonomously but instead interact together in a controlled and co-ordinated manner. In order that an organism can function ... there must be some form of communication between the component cells. ... [It] may take the form of direct communication between adjacent cells ... through permeable membrane channels known as gap junctions. MacDonald [Ma85].
