## Abstract Interactions among growth factors, cells, and extracellular matrix regulate proliferation during normal development and in pathologies such as atherosclerosis. SPARC (secreted protein, acidic, and rich in cysteine) is a matrix‐associated glycoprotein that modulates the adhesion and prol
During tissue repair and development, matrix accumulation is modulated as multiple signals impinge on target cells. We have investigated the effects of combinations of the mitogenic cytokines, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-a), and insulin-like growth fa
