Abstract excerpt
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway regulates multiple cellular processes including cell survival/apoptosis and growth. In the cardiac context, PI3Kalpha plays important roles in cardiac growth. We have shown that cardiac PI3K activity is highly regulated during development, with the highest levels found during the fetal-neonatal transition period and the lowest levels in the adult. There...
