Endogenous IGF-I regulates growth of human intestinal smooth muscle cells by jointly activating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and ERK1/2. The 70-kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (p70S6 kinase) is a key regulator of cell growth activated by several independently regulated kinases. The present study characterized the role of p70S6 kinase in IGF-I-induced growth of human intestinal smooth muscle cel...

Piperine is a dietary alkaloid with huge pharmacological importance and was first isolated from pepper extract. It has been reported anti-cancer, anti-amoebic, anti-mycobacterial, anti-mutagenic, anticonvulsant, anti-asthmatic, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant activity. Therefore, the current investigation designed to unveil anticancer effects of piperine molecule against human ...
