Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a secreted member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of heparin-binding proteins. Studies reported to date indicate that it functions primarily as an important paracrine mediator of epithelial cell growth and differentiation. KGF appears to act via bindi

Cell-matrix interactions are thought to be of critical importance in the regulation of various cell functions, including proliferation, migration and control of gene expression. The integrins, a large family of specific receptors for the macromolecules of the extracellular matrix, are important medi
## Abstract It has been clearly established that receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) is a key cytokine involved in the differentiation of osteoclastic precursors of the monocytic/macrophagic lineage. However, relatively little information is available on the ability of RANKL
## Abstract The serotonin 2A (__5‐HT2A__) receptor gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of suicidal behavior by a genetic association between the 5‐HT2A C102T silent polymorphism and suicidality in patients with major depression. However, a recent meta‐analysis failed to confirm this associ
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) play an important role in tumour invasion. Previous studies have shown by RT-PCR that uPA and uPAR mRNAs are expressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and double immuno¯
