β-endorphin at the intersection of pain and cancer progression: Preclinical evidence.

abstract：:Protein kinase C (PKC) pathway plays important roles in different phenomena in nervous system development. Our previous data demonstrated that phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment, a PKC activator, for 48 h decreases retinal cells proliferation by a mechanism mediated by muscarinic receptor activation, invo...
