## Abstract We have shown that the stimulation of β‐adrenergic receptors (β‐AR) increases apoptosis in adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVMs). Integrins, a family of αβ‐heterodimeric cell surface receptors, are postulated to play a role in ventricular remodeling. Here, we show that norepinephrine (

Cytoskeleton not only controls cell morphology but also regulates cell growth, migration, differentiation, and gene expression, events which are fundamental to embryogenesis, carcinogenesis, and wound healing. We have recently reported that reorganization of cytoskeleton induces expression of mRNA f
## Abstract The following study was undertaken to elucidate the cytoskeletal phenotype of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (NNCF) and the signaling pathways coupled to β‐adrenergic receptor stimulated DNA synthesis. The cytoskeletal proteins vimentin, and smooth muscle α‐actin were detected in NNCF
## Abstract ## Objective Mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are activated by proinflammatory stimuli. MAPK phosphatases (MKPs), in particular MKP‐1, have been identified as endogenous negative regulators of MAPK activation. Since MAPKs are known to be important in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
## Abstract Glucocorticoids (GCs) at physiological concentrations stimulate osteoprogenitor proliferation and differentiation in rat bone cell populations, and this is mediated in part by an increased response to insulin‐like growth factors (IGFs). Since IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) modulate IGF a
