title: Regulation of cAMP and cGMP signaling: new phosphodiesterases and new functions.
abstract: The past eighteen months have provided much progress in the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) field. Six new phosphodiesterase genes have been discovered and characterized. In addition, several new highly specific PDE inhibitors have been developed and approved for clinical use. Finally, new strategies have been employed to determine PDE function in model systems including the use of antisense oligonucleotide and disruption techniques.
