Does MEK1-ERK2 signaling protect the myocardium from ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo?
This study demonstrates that ERK2 signaling is required to protect the myocardium from ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo, highlighting a potential pathway for cardioprotection.
Lips et al. (2004) studied this question.
