Checkpoints maintain order and fidelity in the cell cycle by blocking late-occurring events when earlier events are improperly executed. Here we describe evidence for the participation of Chk1 in an...
Requirement of STAT3 Activation for Differentiation of Mucosal Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Wu, Rong, Sun, Shishinn, Steinberg, Bettie M
STAT3, a member of the signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) family, has been shown to play a key role in promoting proliferation, differentiation, or cell cycle progression,...
