Does remnant lipoprotein-induced smooth muscle cell proliferation involve epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation?
These results suggest that RLPs transactivate EGF receptor via PKC and HB-EGF shedding from SMCs, resulting in SMC proliferation.
This study quantified the impact of ageing on post-burn QoL recovery and confirmed that physical function suffered to the greatest degree. The results emphasise the importance of pro-active burn surgery and physical rehabilitation strategies with older patients.
