## Abstract In order to clarify the roles of fibronectin (FN) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in corneal wound healing, we cultured blocks of excised rabbit cornea for 24 hours in media containing one of these agents, then measured the length of the path of the epithelial layer that had migrated
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) are potent mitogenic proteins capable of inducing cell division in a wide variety of cell types. In addition to their mitogenic properties, both proteins have recently been shown to enhance survival and process outgrowth from ne
To study the relationship between androgen metabolism and the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hypertrophy, we purified a growth factor from benign hyperplastic tissue of human prostates and assayed the proliferative responses of human fetal prostatic fibroblasts to the purified growth factor (hPGF)
