Modulation of human uterine smooth muscle cell collagen contractility by thrombin, Y-27632, TNF alpha and indomethacin
(Springer, 2009-01-08)
Background: Preterm labour occurs in approximately 10% of pregnancies and is a major cause of infant
morbidity and mortality. However, the pathways involved in regulating contractility in normal and preterm labour
are ...
Expression of RHOGTPase regulators in human myometrium
(Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008-01-11)
Background: RHOGTPases play a significant role in modulating myometrial contractility in
uterine smooth muscle. They are regulated by at least three families of proteins, RHO guanine
nucleotide exchange factors (RHOGEFs), ...
Ghrelin in the human myometrium
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2010-03-29)
Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid octanolyated peptide, synthesised primarily in the stomach. It stimulates growth hormone release, food intake and exhibits many other diverse effects. Our group have previously determined that ...

Oxytocic plant cyclotides as templates for peptide G protein-coupled receptor ligand design
(National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America, 2013-10-23)
Cyclotides are plant peptides comprising a circular backbone and three conserved disulfide bonds that confer them with exceptional stability. They were originally discovered in Oldenlandia affinis based on their use in ...
