Transforming growth factor-β€ (TGF-β€) is a potent inducer of numerous extracellular matrix components, largely through a transcriptional mechanism. To define the postreceptor signaling pathways used by TGF-β€ in the induction of extracellular matrix gene expression, we have utilized the human lung car

y analogy to inositol (1,4,5)trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P 3 ] and diacylglycerol (DAG), sphingoid-based lipids (sphingolipids) were initially considered to exert their effects as second messenger molecules. This was based on the finding that DAG activates protein kinase C (PKC) (both the classical and
Homocysteine found in the plasma of patients with coronary heart disease, induces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and increases deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Yet, the mechanism by which homocysteine mediates this effect and its role in vascular disease is larg
## Abstract The study of signal transduction, or the highly regulated series of biochemical events which allow a cell to convert a given stimulus into a functional response, has seen a paradigm shift with a recent explosion in the number of genetically encoded FRETβbased biosensors capable of detec
