Rho signaling pathways in vascular smooth muscle cells are highly activated in hypertension, a condition associated with a variety of vascular diseases, including restenosis injury and atherosclerosis...
The five known members of the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor family exhibit diverse tissue expression profiles and couple to distinct G-protein-mediated signalling pathways. S1P1, S1P2, and S1...
BACKGROUND: Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are common, but it is not clear whether they improve care. METHODS: Quality indicators for processes and outcomes of care were obtained from a computeri...
We previously reported that constitutively activated Galpha(q) (Q209L) expression in cardiomyocytes induces apoptosis through opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. We assessed the...
The multifunctional Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) targets a number of Ca(2+) homeostatic proteins and regulates gene transcription. Many of the substrates phosphorylated by Ca...
The identification of downstream effectors of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is critical for understanding the interactions between signaling cascades and for developing new pharmacological appro...
During hypertrophy the heart increases its utilization of glucose and decreases that of fatty acids, resuming a fetal pattern of substrate metabolism. As demonstrated here, GLUT1 protein expression is...
