Stromal antiapoptotic paracrine loop in perineural invasion of prostatic carcinoma. |
In the pancreas, somatostatin acts a paracrine inhibitor of other pancreatic hormones and thus also has systemic effects. |
Numerous studies have examined the role of paracrine interactions within islets and the importance of gap junctions to islet stimulus-secretion coupling. |
The cells also use paracrine signalling to control the activity of each other. |
To assess the possible involvement of a paracrine mechanism, normal human keratinocytes were exposed to SSR and culture medium was collected 24 h later. |
In in vitro studies we identified a paracrine linkage between keratinocytes and fibroblasts that leads to wrinkle formation through the upregulation of fibroblast elastases. |
