    Thomas Clemens; Fiscal Year: 2007
    ..A better understanding of the mechanisms of action of GH will have important implications for the action of this hormone in other tissues and for its use in the clinic. ..
  15. The Growth Hormone/IGF-1 Axis in Skeletal Muscle
    Thomas L Clemens; Fiscal Year: 2010
    ..Distinguishing the actions of GH from those of IGF-1 in muscle cells during postnatal development should ultimately facilitate the development of more specific and effective therapies with these two molecules. ..

    Jessica Schwartz; Fiscal Year: 2003
    ..associated with these complexes, we have so far identified three distinct signalling pathways between the GH receptor (GHR) and the nucleus, mediated by Stats by Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) and by phosphatidyl ..
