## Abstract The bioactivity of both bFGF and aFGF in the BALB/MK‐1 cell line has been compared to that of EGF. Our results indicate that, for that cell type, aFGF was far more potent than bFGF in inducing cell proliferation. In the presence of heparin, aFGF was as potent as EGF. In addition, excess

Signal transduction initiated by TGFb1 and OP-1 was studied in MG63 human osteosarcoma cells and in normal human bone cells (HBCs) in the presence of inhibitors of signal transduction events, using insulinlike growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) production as an end point. Treatment of serum-f
Transforming growth factor$ (TGFP) serves an important role in extracellular matrix formation by stimulating the production of numerous extracellular matrix proteins by connective tissue cells and by osteoblasts or bone-forming cells. TGFP has been shown to stimulate alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) ac
