Intraarticular injection of hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid; HA) is the common way to treat osteoarthritis (OA) of knees. This treatment cannot only maintain the viscoelastic properties of knee but also release the OA pain. However, the exact molecular mechanism is unknown. In this study, after human sy
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major agent in choroidal and retinal neovascularization, events associated with age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), strategically located between retina and choroid, plays a cri
Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-1 ), which is present in lung tissue, has been suggested to play a role in modulating vascular cell function in vivo. The action of TGF-1 in vivo, especially at the local site of application to connective tissue, is anabolic and leads to pulmonary fibrosis and
