We have previously shown that transforming growth factor-b1 (TGF-b1) enhances the epidermal growth factor-(EGF) and transforming growth factor-a (TGF-a)stimulated motility of rat hepatocytes in an extracellular matrix (ECM)-dependent fashion (Stolz and Michalopoulos, 1997, J. Cell. Physiol., 170:57-

Oxidative stress plays a key role in liver fibrosis. Both inflammatory cells and activated Kupffer cells produce H 2 O 2 , an oxidant involved in the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC). Increased production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) in fibrotic livers is associated in part with
## Background: The role of growth factors in prostate cell growth has been investigated as these peptides may be involved in the autonomous growth of hormone-independent prostate cancer. ## Methods: Responses of neoplastic (pc-3 and cpa) and non-neoplastic (cape) prostatic cell lines to epidermal
