## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major agent in choroidal and retinal neovascularization, events associated with ageβrelated macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), strategically located between retina and choroid, plays a cri

Proliferation of endothelial cells is regulated by angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors whose actions are mediated by complex interactions of multiple signaling pathways. Both vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stimulate cell proliferation and activa
## Abstract Although neurons of the PNS no longer require neurotrophins such as Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) for their survival, such factors are involved in regulating axonal sprouting and regeneration after injury. In addition to the neurotrophin receptors, sensory neurons are reported to express IG
Many hepatocellular activities may be proximally regulated by intracellular signalling proteins including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). In this study, signalling events from epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin were examined in primary cultured human and rat hepatocytes. Using Weste
## Abstract Allβtrans retinoic acid (ATRA), a synthetic derivative of vitamin A, inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells. To elucidate the mechanism by which ATRA causes cell growth inhibition, we examined changes in cell cycle and intracellular signaling pathways, focusing on protein kinase C (
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is essential for normal epidermal homeostasis; however, the role of IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), regulators of IGF action, remains unclear. Here we examine the regulation of human keratinocyte-produced IGFBPs by epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growt
