Invited review: mechanochemical signal transduction in the fetal lung.
Growth and maturation of fetal lungs are regulated by both humoral and physical factors. Mechanical stretch stimulates fetal lung cell proliferation and affects fetal lung maturation by influencing the production of extracellular matrix molecules and the expression of specific genes of fetal lung cells. These effects are mediated through special signal transduction pathways in fetal lung cells....
متن کاملCell volume regulation: osmolytes, osmolyte transport, and signal transduction.
In recent years, it has become evident that the volume of a given cell is an important factor not only in defining its intracellular osmolality and its shape, but also in defining other cellular functions, such as transepithelial transport, cell migration, cell growth, cell death, and the regulation of intracellular metabolism. In addition, besides inorganic osmolytes, the existence of organic ...
متن کاملCell cycle and apoptosis: A review
Cancer is characterized by abnormally excessive cell proliferation. Cell proliferation, the process by which a cell grows and divides to produce two daughter cells. Each of these daughter cells divides to produce two new cells, steps that are called cell cycle. Meanwhile, apoptosis is a highly regulated process of cell death, which is involved not only in the development of shape and morphogene...
متن کاملInvited Review SRC family kinases in cell volume regulation
Cohen, David M. SRC family kinases in cell volume regulation. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 288: C483–C493, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajpcell.00452.2004.—SRC family kinases are a group of nine cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinases essential for many cell functions. Some appear to be ubiquitously expressed, whereas others are highly tissue specific. The ability of members of the SRC family to influence ion t...

Pfitzer, Gabriele. Invited Review: Regulation of myosin phosphorylation in smooth muscle. J Appl Physiol 91: 497–503, 2001.— Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chains of myosin II (rMLC) by the Ca21/calmodulin-dependent myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) and dephosphorylation by a type 1 phosphatase (MLCP), which is targeted to myosin by a regulatory subunit (MYPT1), are the predominant mech...
