A novel pathway termed the sphingomyelin cycle has been identified whereby membrane sphingomyelin is hydrolyzed in response to multiple extracellular stimuli (such as tumor necrosis factor a ) which cause activation of regulated sphingomyelinases. The product, ceramide, has emerged as a second messe

## Abstract The possibility that a growthβrelated proteinase may act by degrading a negative growth regulatory protein has been investigated. Proteinase inhibitors which inhibit the enzyme also enhance the accumulation of the growth regulator by human fibroblasts. The negative growth regulator show
## Abstract Allβ__trans__ retinoic acid (ATRA) can down regulate the antiβapoptotic protein Bclβ2 and the cell cycle proteins cyclin D1 and cdk2 in estrogen receptorβpositive breast cancer cells. We show here that retinoids can also reduce expression of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein, survivin.
## Both glycoheptaosyl and glycononaosyl repeating units of plant cell wall xyloglucan were synthesized for the first time in a stereocontrolled manner. Xyloglucan
