The PDGFbr gene has been implicated in many physiological processes including development and wound healing. Aberrant expression of the receptor is seen in many pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases. To study the mechanisms of PDGFbr regulation, we identified the
Quantification of changes in levels of c-fos RNA was used as an indicator of the presence of functional responses to nerve growth factor in several human non-neuronal cell lines which have previously been shown to express high levels of NGF receptors. Four Ewing's sarcomas, one Wilm's tumor, and one
Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-@) stimulated porcine satellite cell proliferation in basal serum-free medium by 25%, but inhibited growth in serumcontaining medium by 58%. The effect of TGF-@ on cell proliferation in serumfree medium was examined in combination with the following human recom
