Abstract excerpt
Developmental control of cell proliferation is crucial, and abnormal principal cell proliferation may contribute to cystogenesis in polycystic kidney disease. This study investigates roles of cAMP and its primary effector, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A; PKA), in control of cell proliferation in filter-grown noncystic (NC) and cystic (CY)-derived principal cell cultures. These cultures had...
