Journal Article
Nikitenko, L. L., Smith, D. M., Hague, S., Wilson, C. R., Bicknell, R., & Rees, M. C. (2002). Adrenomedullin and the microvasculature. Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 23(3), 101-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0165-6147%2800%2901983-0

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.

N-WASP activation by a β1-integrin-dependent mechanism supports PI3K-independent chemotaxis stimulated by urokinase-type plasminogen activator (2002)
Journal Article
Sturge, J., Hamelin, J., & Jones, G. (2002). N-WASP activation by a β1-integrin-dependent mechanism supports PI3K-independent chemotaxis stimulated by urokinase-type plasminogen activator. Journal of cell science, 115(4), 699-711

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA)-uPA receptor (uPAR) and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-EGF receptor (EGFR) expression is highly correlated with breast cancer metastasis. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), small Rho GTPases, such as Cdc42 and...
