To study the relationship between androgen metabolism and the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hypertrophy, we purified a growth factor from benign hyperplastic tissue of human prostates and assayed the proliferative responses of human fetal prostatic fibroblasts to the purified growth factor (hPGF)

## Abstract Acute physical stresses can occur in the procurement and isolation process and potentially can contribute to islet death or malfunction upon transplantation. A contractional flow device, previously used to subject suspended cells to wellβdefined hydrodynamic forces, has been modified an
The effects of islet function of addition to the culture medium of rat growth hormone was studied in 4-day cultured islets of Langerhans from normal and hypophysectomised rats. In islets from hypophysectomised rats, rates of insulin release were 34% lower than in control rat islets; rates of insulin
## Abstract Nerve growth factor (NGF) exerts both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on neuronal and certain nonβneuronal tumors. In pancreatic cancer NGF is overexpressed, and this overexpression is associated with increased perineural invasion. NGF has the potential to stimulate the growth of som
## Abstract The effect of culture conditions on calf dorsal aorta endothelial cells was studied. Population doubling time varied as a function of the cell seeding density, growth medium, serum supplement, and concentration of fibroblast growth factor (FGF). The shortest population doubling time was
