## Abstract Pancreatic duct cells are considered to be a major source for Ξ²βcell regeneration or neogenesis. Although epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a wellβknown important growth factor for pancreas development, the control of pancreatic duct cell growth and differentiation by EGF is poorly under

## Abstract Human cathelicidin antimicrobial protein hCAP18/LLβ37 is an effector molecule of the nonspecific innate immune system. hCAP18/LLβ37 is present in leukocytes and is expressed in skin and other epithelia, where it is upregulated in association with inflammation and injury. In addition, an
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multifunctional regulators of proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. BMP-6 is involved in numerous developmental processes. We have demonstrated expression of BMP-6 in breast cancer cell lines by RT-PCR and immuno-histochemistry. The level of BMP-6 mRNA
## Abstract Angiotensin II (Ang II) induces, through AT1, intracellular Ca^2+^ increase in both normal and cancerous breast cells in primary culture (Greco et al., 2002 Cell Calcium 2:1β10). We here show that Ang II stimulated, in a doseβdependent manner, the 24 hβproliferation of breast cancer cel
