Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) plays significant roles in the growth and development of mammals through the regulation of mitogenesis and cell survival. Previously, IGF-II mRNA transcripts within the CNS were detected in the choroid plexus and leptomeninges (DeChiara et al., 1991). The objec

## Abstract This study examined the frequency of loss of imprinting (LOI) and expression of the insulinβlike growth factor 2 (__IGF2__) gene, and their relationship to selected clinical and pathological factors, in a well defined series of 90 Chinese patients with gastric cancer (GC) and 90 matched
## Abstract The expression of the insulin like growth factor (IGF) II gene has been examined in the developing equine fetus. It was found that IGF II transcripts were present in abundant quantities in third trimester embryonic and extraembryonic tissues as for example the placenta. The expression o
Haemangiopericytoma is a rare soft tissue tumour originating from the contractile pericapillary cells. Relatively little is known about its molecular pathogenesis. To address this issue, the insulin-like growth factor family (IGFs) was analysed in 19 tumours collected from a human tumour bank networ
## Abstract Apart from hepatic stellate cells (HSC), liver myofibroblasts (MF) represent a second mesenchymal cell population involved in hepatic fibrogenesis. The IGF system including the insulinβlike growth factors I and II (IGFβI, βII), their receptors (IGFβI receptor, IGFβIR; IGFβII/mannose 6βp
