## Abstract The roles of growth factors and extracellular matrices (ECMs) in regulation of hepatocyte behaviors are very important for the establishment of liver‐tissue engineering. Especially, collaboration between growth factors and ECMs is a big concern for liver‐tissue engineering. In this stud

The present study was conducted to determine the role of two autocrine factors, activin A and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), in the growth regulation of AML12 hepatocytes. We overexpressed truncated type II activin and/or TGF-beta receptors in AML12 cells. In AML12 cells overexpressing

Activin A, an autocrine factor produced by hepatocytes, inhibits mitogen-stimulated DNA synthesis and induces apoptotic death of cultured rat hepatocytes. Several lines of evidence indicate that norepinephrine (NE), as a comitogenic growth factor, alters the balance between growth stimulation and in

## Abstract Human embryonic stem (hES) cells have the capacities to propagate for extended periods and to differentiate into cell types from all three germ layers both in vitro and in vivo. These characteristics of self‐renewal and pluripotency enable hES cells having the potential to provide an un
