Integrins transmit bidirectional signals across the plasma membrane and regulate many biological functions, including cell differentiation, migration, growth, and survival.
They have been found to regulate genes involved in diverse biological functions, including development, differentiation, proliferation, and stress response.
MicroRNAs have been found to regulate genes involved in diverse biological functions, including development, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis (Ambros, 2004; Croce and Calin, 2005; Bushati and Cohen, 2007).
Histone modification regulates chromatin structure and influences gene expression associated with diverse biological functions including cellular differentiation, cancer, maintenance of genome architecture, and pathogen virulence.
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) represent a group of peptides that regulate diverse biological functions, including cell differentiation, cell growth, and angiogenesis (1, 2).
TG2 has been implicated in various biological functions including cell differentiation and maturation, cell morphology and adhesion, ECM stabilization, cell death, inflammation, cell migration and wound healing.
In addition to these effects on membrane dynamics, studies with in vitro and in vivo models of ether lipid deficiency suggest that ether lipids are involved in a variety of biological functions, including regulating cell differentiation, impacting cellular signaling, and reducing oxidative stress through their ability to function as potential endogenous antioxidants.
Notch receptors are involved in several biological functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and tumorigenesis [ 13].
They participate in a number of biological functions including cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis [ 71, 72].
Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily cytokines regulate diverse biological functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, survival and apoptosis.
