Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Prolactin (PRL)-stimulated beta cell proliferation is critical for maternal pancreatic beta cell mass expansion during pregnancy. However, the molecular effectors of the multiple putative signalling pathways downstream of the PRL receptor (PRL-R) are still elusive. Survivin has been shown to be induced during pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to define the essential role of survivin in...
