Guanylyl Cyclase C Regulation And Pathophysiology
(2015-02-26)
The survival of the any living organism depends on its availability to communicate, and a breakdown of cellular signaling can have dire consequences such as uncontrolled cellular proliferations or even cell death. Environmental ...
Studies on Regulation of Rat Corpus Luteum Function by Prolactin And Luteinizing Hormone
(2018-07-25)
The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine structure formed from the remnants of an ovulated follicle with the primary purpose of producing progesterone (P4), a hormone vital for the establishment and maintenance of ...
Role of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase in Cancer Cell Survival under Matrix-Deprived Conditions
(2018-07-19)
Cancer progression is a multi-step process requiring cells to acquire specific properties that aid the neoplastic growth. One such property is the ability to survive in the absence of matrix-attachment, a critical necessity ...
Context Dependent Effects of the Transforming Growth Factor-beta Signaling and Role Played by WNT4 in the Activation of Fibroblasts
(2018-07-26)
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of cytokines comprises of several members, which can broadly be sub-divided into three classes [TGF-βs, Activin/Nodal, and Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)]. Most members ...
Insights into Differentiation of Mouse Pluripotent Stem Cells to Neural Lineage
(2017-12-10)
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs: ESCs and iPSCs) provide an excellent model system for studying neural development and function. These cells also serve as a reliable source of cell replacement for the treatment of various ...
Elucidation of 17β-Estradiol (E2) Role in the Regulation of Corpus Luteum Function in Mammals : Analysis of IGFBP5 Expression during Ea-mediated Actions
(2017-12-12)
Corpus luteum is a transient endocrine structure formed from the ruptured ovarian follicle. Its main function is to secrete P4, a pro-gestational hormone, essential for establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in mammals. ...
Insights Into The Mechanism Of Actions Of Luteinizing Hormone And Prostaglandin F2α In The Regulation Of Corpus Luteum Function Of Monoovulatory Species
(2016-11-11)
Corpus luteum (CL), a transient endocrine structure formed from the ruptured ovarian follicle after ovulation, secretes progesterone (P4) that is essential for establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in mammals. The ...
Deciphering the Mechanisms of AMPK Activation upon Anchorage- Deprivation
(2018-01-07)
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of energy homeostasis in cells. It has been implicated as a therapeutic target for various metabolic diseases like type II diabetes and obesity. However, its role in ...
Role of Chemokine Receptor, CXCR4 Mediated Signaling in Cellular Senescence
(2017-10-05)
Cellular senescence has been proposed to be equivalent to organismal aging and is one of the outcomes of the cell fate decision process in response to DNA damage that occurs in cells. When a cell encounters DNA damage, the ...
Role of Activin A Signaling in Breast Cancer
(2017-11-22)
Activin-A is a member of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of cytokines which includes TGF-βs, Activins, Nodal, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth and differentiation factors (GDFs) and anti-Mullerian ...
