Is catecholamine-induced cardiac hypertrophy in rats associated with the activation of p70 kinase and c-Jun NH ( 2 ) -terminal kinase 2?
The activation of p70(S6) kinase and JNK2 may be implicated in the development of catecholamine-induced cardiac hypertrophy in vivo.
Scaffolds containing silicon dioxide for tissue engineering may enhance cell growth through ERK1/2 activation only when NPs around 50-120 nm in size are included, and single component silica-derived NPs could be useful for bioscaffolds in stem cell therapy.
