## Abstract We developed a powerful cytotoxic analogue of bombesin AN‐215, in which the bombesin (BN)‐like carrier peptide is conjugated to 2‐pyrrolino doxorubicin (AN‐201). Human prostate cancers express high levels of receptors for BN/gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) that can be used for targeted

Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a multifunctional polypeptide which acts as mitogen, motogen, or morphogen. In this study, we examined the effect of HGF/SF on human hair growth using organ and cell culture systems. HGF/SF was found to stimulate hair length and DNA synthesis in ha
