Adrenomedullin: Multiple functions in human pregnancy (2004)
Journal Article
Wilson, C., Nikitenko, L. L., Sargent, I. L., & Rees, M. C. (2004). Adrenomedullin: Multiple functions in human pregnancy. Angiogenesis, 7(3), 203-212. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10456-004-4183-5

Adrenomedullin is a 52 amino acid peptide originally isolated from human phaeochromocytoma in 1993. It was initially demonstrated to have profound effects on the vasculature including vasodilatation and subsequently promotion of angiogenesis. Since t...

The peptide adrenomedullin shows a remarkable range of effects on the vasculature that include vasodilatation, regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, inhibition of endothelial apoptosis and promotion of angiogenesis. It is becoming... Read More about Adrenomedullin and the microvasculature.

Differential and cell-specific expression of calcitonin receptor-like receptor and receptor activity modifying proteins in the humans uterus (2001)
Journal Article
Nikitenko, L. L., Brown, N. S., Smith, D. M., MacKenzie, I. Z., Bicknell, R., & Rees, M. C. (2001). Differential and cell-specific expression of calcitonin receptor-like receptor and receptor activity modifying proteins in the humans uterus. Molecular Human Reproduction, 7(7), 655-664. https://doi.org/10.1093/molehr/7.7.655

The calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) can function as a receptor for either calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or adrenomedullin (AM), depending upon co-expression with members of a novel family of receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAM...

Adrenomedullin is an autocrine regulator of endothelial growth in human endometrium (2000)
Journal Article
Nikitenko, L. L., MacKenzie, I. Z., Rees, M. C., & Bicknell, R. (2000). Adrenomedullin is an autocrine regulator of endothelial growth in human endometrium. Molecular Human Reproduction, 6(9), 811-819. https://doi.org/10.1093/molehr/6.9.811

Human endometrium is a mucosa served by a microvascular blood supply that involves benign angiogenesis under the control of ovarian steroids throughout reproductive life. Adrenomedullin is a multifunctional 52-amino acid peptide involved in numerous... Read More about Adrenomedullin is an autocrine regulator of endothelial growth in human endometrium.

Rodent S 100A4 (p9Ka) induces a metastatic phenotype in benign rat mammary tumour cells and cooperates with the neu oncogene to produce metastatic tumours in a transgenic mouse model system. Human S 100A4 possesses similar metastasis-inducing propert... Read More about Localisation by in situ hybridisation of S100A4 (p9Ka) mRNA in primary human breast tumour specimens.

The fetus must transport considerable and increasing amounts of calcium across the placental trophoblast epithelium to support growth and development and bone formation. Active calcium transport across epithelia has been shown to correlate with calbi...
