## Abstract This study evaluated the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor, transforming growth factor‐β1, insulin‐like growth factor‐1, and insulin on the incorporation of thymidine and sulfate in human osteoarthritic articular cartilage. Tissue explants were obtained from 11 patients undergoi
## Abstract The short‐term and long‐term effects on the growth zone in articular cartilage of transforming growth factor‐β1 and platelet‐derived growth factor‐BB injected intraarticularly into the knee joint of growing rats were investigated. The changes induced by five injections of 0.5 μg of tran
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent activator for cells of mesenchymal origin. PDGF stimulates chemotaxis, proliferation, and new gene expression in monocytes-macrophages and fibroblasts in vitro, cell types considered essential for tissue repair. Therefore, we analyzed the influence o
