Abstract: Methods and compositions for modulating the activities of connexins are provided, including, for example, for use in post-surgical, trauma, or tissue engineering applications. These compounds and methods can be used therapeutically, for example, to reduce the severity of adverse effects associated diseases and disorders where localized disruption in direct cell-cell communication is desirable.
Abstract: The inventions relate to the use of hemichannel blockers to modulate cytokine levels in a subject, including the angiogenic cytokine, VEGF, and their production, secretion and/or release, and to the use of hemichannel blockers to reduce or level cytokine activity, including in conditions characterized in whole or in part by angiogenesis and/or vessel leak.
