The growth of cardiac myocytes switches from hyperplasia to hypertrophy shortly after birth.Past or Present Projects Available:The effects of a B-adrenergic stimulation on the regulation of cardiomyocyte proliferation; The crosstalk between beta-adrenergic receptors and P13K signaling pathway in the heart; Temporal activation of the PI(3)K signaling pathway and the proliferation of cardiac myocytes in a newborn murine animal model; Role of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and its ligands in mechanical stretch-induced lung injury; Endothelial Cell Migration Rate: Signaling and Cytoskeletal Mechanisms |
