title: STAT signalling in cell proliferation and in development.
abstract: Recent advances in STAT signalling research include a better understanding of the roles of mammalian STAT proteins in cell proliferation and apoptosis, and of non-mammalian STAT proteins in morphogenesis. Two different ways in which STAT signalling pathways can interface with Smad signalling pathways significantly increasing combinatorial signalling possibilities, have also been described.
