## Abstract The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling pathway is one of the most ubiquitous in biology. It has diverse roles in development, differentiation and cancer. Embryonic stem (ES) cells are in vitro cell lines capable of differentiating into all the lineages of the conceptus. As such t
Intercellular communication of osteoblast-like cells (OBL) is discussed to be a prerequisite for osseointegration of implants. This signaling involves changes of the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i ) which can be elicited by mechanical stimuli and are propagated from cell to cell. Th
Cell-mediated cytotoxicity involves a number of distinct mechanisms as well as the active participation of the target cell. Recently, several investigators have demonstrated that extracellular ATP can act as a cytotoxic effector.
