## Abstract ## Objective Calcitonin has been suggested to have chondroprotective effects. One signaling pathway of calcitonin is via the second messenger cAMP. We undertook this study to investigate whether increased cAMP levels in chondrocytes would be chondroprotective. ## Methods Cartilage de
The survival, proliferation and differentiation of neuroblastoma (NB) cells are largely dependent on adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Integrin occupancy seems to play a primary role. To elucidate the role of integrin heterodimers during neuronal cell death, we have analysed the chang
