An ERK-dependent signaling pathway regulated by miRs contributes to an aging-related decrease in smooth muscle contractility by inhibiting caldesmon phosphorylation

This project focused on extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and focal adhesion proteins related to ERK activity, and found a novel signaling pathway contributing to aging-related defects in smooth muscle contractility. Previous members of our lab have used ERK inhibitors to demonstrate the...
