Skeletal muscle satellite cells were cultured from mature rats and were treated in vitro with various combinations of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-l)~ In serum-free defined medium the following observations were made: TC

We are reporting experiments that provide initial documentation of the action of TGF-beta on satellite cells. TGF-beta could be one of the important growth factors that act in concert to regulate the proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells in skeletal muscle. MATERIALS AND METHODS ##
Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-@) stimulated porcine satellite cell proliferation in basal serum-free medium by 25%, but inhibited growth in serumcontaining medium by 58%. The effect of TGF-@ on cell proliferation in serumfree medium was examined in combination with the following human recom
Hepatocyte growth factor, a potent hepatocyte mitogen in vitro, appears to trigger hepatocyte regeneration after partial hepatectomy and after acute liver cell netcrosis. Transforming growth factor-a and transforming growth factor+, may also be involved in the control of liver regeneration. In this
