Abstract
⺠Connexin and pannexin form unapposed hemichannels in the plasma membrane. ⺠Hemichannels are activated by a variety of (patho)physiological stimuli. ⺠Substances released via hemichannels participate in paracrine signaling cascade. ⺠Interplay of hemichannels with intercellular signaling opens a new pathway to coordinate cellular events.
