A number of cytokines and growth factors may affect astrocyte proliferation and functions. Transforming growth factor-pl (TGF-P1) is a pleiotropic cytokine which exerts multiple effects on growth and differentiation of different cell types. TGF-P1 is present in low amounts in the normal brain. TGF-P
Anchorage-independent growth of primary rat embryo cells is induced by platelet-derived growth factor and inhibited by type-beta transforming growth factor

## Abstract Our laboratory has developed a method for the repair of osteochondral defects by implanting cultured perichondrial cells attached to a biodegradable polylactic acid scaffold. The success of this approach depends in part on the proliferative characteristics and the phenotype of the impla
Serially transplantable rat mammary tumor (RMT) cells are not dependent on exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I for continuous growth in serum-free medium. Previously, we found that conditioned medium obtained from these cells contained EGF-like mitogenic activity
We have examined the ability of transforming growth factor-pl (TGF-p1) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to regulate the expression of various integrins in cultured rabbit vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). We found that expression of the a,p3 integrin complex was induced by both grow
## Abstract We found that caffeine significantly inhibited epidermal growth factor (EGF)β and 12β__O__βtetradecanoylphorbolβ13βacetate (TPA)βinduced cell transformation in the JB6 mouse epidermal cell line. The tumor promoterβinduced cell transformation was also blocked by treatment with an adenosi
Gap junctional communication (GJC) between contacting cells has been postulated to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. This suggestion stems from numerous studies showing modulation of GJC by agents that influence cellular proliferation. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a stro
