## Abstract Cancer cells are characterized by either an increased ability to proliferate or a diminished capacity to undergo programmed cell death. PTEN is instrumental in regulating the balance between growth and death in several cell types and has been described as a tumor suppressor. The chromos

## Abstract The adipose tissue is the site of expression and secretion of a range of biologically active proteins, called adipokines, for example, leptin, adiponectin, and resistin. Leptin has previously been shown to be expressed in osteoblasts and to promote bone mineralization, whereas adiponect
We have previously described a specific, saturable receptor for rat collagenase-3 in the rat osteosarcoma cell line, UMR 106-01. Binding of rat collagenase-3 to this receptor is coupled to the internalization and eventual degradation of the enzyme and correlates with observed extracellular levels of
The runt family transcription factor (AML-3/PEBP2alphaA1/Cbfa1/RUNX2) plays a crucial role in formation of the mineralized skeleton during embryogenesis and regulates maturation of the osteoblast phenotype. Because steroid hormones and growth factors significantly influence growth and differentiatio
## Abstract Integrin heterodimers play diverse and important roles in physiological and pathological processes, such as cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, and tumor progression, via the outsideβin and/or insideβout signaling pathways. Aberrant functions of integ
