Abstract excerpt
The p38 branch of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade has been implicated as a regulator of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in culture as well as in the adult heart. However, considerable disagreement persists as to the functional effects attributed to p38 signaling, given that both pro- and anti-apoptotic regulatory roles have been reported. To address this area of uncertainty in the...
