High-density chick limb bud cell culture is a useful model to study mesenchymal condensatifons and chondrogenesis. Most previous studies have focused on the effects of soluble reagents on terminal chondrogenic differentiation and have not defined the early cellular processes and signaling events. In

## Abstract The process of vascular calcification presents several features similar to osteogenesis in which fibronectin (FN) acts as a regulator of osteoblastic differentiation and the ERK signal pathway is involved. In order to find whether FN promotes the osteoblastic differentiation of vascular
## Abstract Although lipidβlowering therapy with 3βhydroxyβ3βmethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) decreases the progression of coronary artery and aortic valve calcification, the mechanism of action of these drugs to inhibit the calcification process remains unclear. In this stu
Vascular endothelial growth Factor (VEGF) has been identified as a key angiogenic factor involved in the growth and malignant progression of tumours. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are the most common primary human brain tumours, histo-pathologically characterized by intense tumour angiogenesis. GBMs
## Abstract Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), an important cardiovascular mediator derived from sphingomyelin that has atheroprotective effects via actions on vascular endothelial cells (VECs) at normal levels in vivo. However, the underlying mechanism is not well known. To clarify this question,
