We evaluated the effectiveness of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in inhibiting wound contraction, both alone and in combination with collagen matrix, using a simulated in vivo delayed healing type model. We also studied the mechanisms involved in this inhibition in in vitro experiments using
## Abstract An experimental study on the rat sciatic nerve was performed to evaluate nerve regeneration through a collagen guide and to study the effects of Ξ±βmelanocytic stimulating hormone (Ξ±βMSH) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bβFGF) in accel erating axonal elongation. After transection, ne
During tissue repair and development, matrix accumulation is modulated as multiple signals impinge on target cells. We have investigated the effects of combinations of the mitogenic cytokines, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-a), and insulin-like growth fa
Recent studies in several neuronal lineages suggest that extrinsic factors such as polypeptide growth factors regulate various stages of neuronal development, from initial commitment of multipotent progenitors to induction of specific gene expression that is characteristic of terminal neuronal diffe
