Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a multifunctional polypeptide which acts as mitogen, motogen, or morphogen. In this study, we examined the effect of HGF/SF on human hair growth using organ and cell culture systems. HGF/SF was found to stimulate hair length and DNA synthesis in ha

Corneal epithelial stem cells and transient amplifying cells are located in the limbal and corneal regions, respectively. In a serum-free medium with or without different cytokines, limbal fibroblasts consistently produced greater levels of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) transcript and protein tha
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a multipotent cytokine that is mediated by its receptor, cβMET. HGF/cβMET contributes to tumor progression in many human malignancies; however, HGF/cβMET is inversely correlated with aggressive biologic behavior in other cancers. Convers
