Cyclooxygenase-2 in Cardiovascular Biology
Cyclooxygenase (COX), also known as prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase, is the key enzyme required for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Two COX isoforms have been identified, COX-1 and COX-2.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate Blocks Triethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate-induced Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression by Suppressing Extracellular Signal-regulated Kinase in Human Dental Pulp and Embryonic Palatal Mesenchymal Cells [PDF]
Introduction: Methacrylate resin-based materials could release components into adjacent environment even after polymerization. The major components leached include triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA). TEGDMA has been shown to induce the expression

Research progress on COX-2/PGE2/EP4 signaling axis in colon cancer
The expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) was up-regulated and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was significantly increased in colon cancer patients. As the main prostaglandin produced by COX-2, PGE2 plays an important role in angiogenesis, survival, invasion ...

Tolerance to coxibs in patients with intolerance to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) : a systematic structured review of the literature [PDF]
Adverse events triggered by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most common drug-related intolerance reactions in medicine; they are possibly related to inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1.
