Gap junctions are specialized membrane channels that allow direct cytoplasmic exchange between adjacent cells, enabling coordinated signaling, metabolic coupling, and emergent tissue-level behavior. This simulation visualizes the dynamics of gap junction networks and the information flow they sustain.","shortDescription":"Cross-channel integration through intercellular communication"}}
