Abstract excerpt
Activation of the nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) inhibits cell growth and induces differentiation in both adipocyte and epithelial cell lineages, although it is unclear whether this occurs through common or cell-type specific mechanisms. We have identified four human colon cancer cell lines that do no undergo growth inhibition or induce markers of...
