PPARgamma signaling: one size fits all?

Cell Cycle. 2004 Nov;3(11):1352-4. doi: 10.4161/cc.3.11.1210. Epub 2004 Nov 8.

Abstract

Outcome of PPARgamma activation in cancer cells is not one-dimensional. PPARgamma signaling is dependent upon PPARgamma ligand affinity and binding characteristics, target cell context and interacting signaling networks.
