Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To use protein kinase C (PKC) δ-knockout mice to investigate the role of PKCδ in lesion development and to understand the underlying mechanism of the vascular disease. METHODS AND RESULTS: PKCδ functions as a signal transducer mediating several essential functions of cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, the effect of PKCδ on neointimal formation in wire-injured vessels is unknown. Three weeks...
