The purpose of this investigation was to determine if precocious oocyte maturation could be induced by modulating ovarian cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) or protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction pathways in the intact hamster. The following inhibitors and stimulators were

Osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease of the load-bearing joints, greatly reduces quality of life for millions of Americans and places a tremendous cost on the American healthcare system. Due to limitations of current treatments, tissue engineering of articular cartilage may provide
Tumor-promoting activity of phorbol and four diesters of phorbol in mouse skin.
During left ventricular hypertrophy, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) mRNA levels increase, possibly due to stretch-induced activation of protein kinase C. Phorbol ester treatment of primary cultures of neonatal rat ventricular cardiocytes represents an in vitro
Vanilloid type transient receptor potential channel (TRPV) could be a potential environmental sensor to multiple stimuli in many types of cells. In this study, we provide the first evidence of functional vanilloid type 4 transient receptor potential channel (TRPV4) in
Cancer research has revealed that the classical model of carcinogenesis, a three step process consisting of initiation, promotion, and progression, is not complete.
