Studies investigating mechanisms of mucociliary clearance have suggested that beta 2-adrenergic agents may significantly influence ciliary activity of epithelial cells and therefore play a vital role in the maintenance of functional integrity of the airways. We have cultured human bronchial epitheli

The rat tracheal implant model was used to characterize the role of activated Ha-ras in the neoplastic progression of heterogeneous rat tracheal epithelial (RTE) cell populations. An activated Ha-ras-containing cell line, RTE 2-2, and its subclone, RTE 2-2n, which possesses only Ha-ras proto-oncogen
We have previously shown that transforming growth factor-b1 (TGF-b1) enhances the epidermal growth factor-(EGF) and transforming growth factor-a (TGF-a)stimulated motility of rat hepatocytes in an extracellular matrix (ECM)-dependent fashion (Stolz and Michalopoulos, 1997, J. Cell. Physiol., 170:57-
## Abstract Hyaluronan (or hyaluronic acid, HA) is an essential component of extracellular matrices. It interacts with other macromolecules and plays a predominant role in tissue morphogenesis, cell migration, differentiation, and adhesion. The cell signaling functions of HA are mediated through th
