title = "Angiotensin II Signaling: Cell Growth and Apoptosis",
abstract = "Angiotensin II mediates both growth and death pathways in the young developing heart and the failing heart. Although stimulation of both processes by the same agent might seem counterproductive, the cell is capable of specifically regulating the process that will dominate. The secret behind the specificity of the response lies in the characteristics of the plethora of signaling pathways initiated by angiotensin II. It is generally felt that alterations in these pathways play a pivotal role in both the normal development of the young heart and the onset of pathology in the failing heart. Although the recent introduction of transgenic animals has proven valuable in assessing the contribution of specific pathways in the regulation of growth and apoptosis, more information is required on the interplay between these pathways and mediators of growth and apoptosis.",
