1. Applications of organ culture of the mouse inner ear
Abstract : The embryonic mouse inner ear was used as a model with which to study ototoxicity and tissue interactions. The inner ear anlage can be explanted and cultured in vitro from about the 12th gestational day (gd), and will differentiate parallel with the inner ear developing in vivo until a time corresponding to birth (21st gd).

3. Mechanistical studies on gap junctions and their role in tumour promotion : structure-activity relationships of polychlorinated biphelyls
Abstract : Chemically induced carcinogenesis is a multi-stage process that can be divided into at least three major stages, initiation, promotion and progression. The promotion stage involves clonal expansion of genetically altered cells (i.e. initiated cells). READ MORE

4. Protein kinase C-dependent regulation of the epithelial barrier
Abstract : The intestinal epithelium is essential for the absorption of nutrients and for the defence against harmful substances in the gut. The permeability and barrier functions of epithelia are mainly controlled by the intercellular tight junctions. READ MORE

5. Two novel combination therapies of glioblastoma multiforme from a Cx43 perspective : studies of in vitro models
Abstract : The group of patients suffering from the malignant brain tumour glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) have a median survival of only about one year. Thus, new treatment strategies are urgently needed. Gap junctions are intercellular channels, permitting intercellular transfer of water soluble substances. READ MORE
