Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFP1) are potential autocrine growth regulators of the prostatic stroma, and therefore may play a role in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We reported [Story et al.: Prostate 22:183-197, 19931 that TG

Cytoskeleton not only controls cell morphology but also regulates cell growth, migration, differentiation, and gene expression, events which are fundamental to embryogenesis, carcinogenesis, and wound healing. We have recently reported that reorganization of cytoskeleton induces expression of mRNA f
Intraarticular injection of hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid; HA) is the common way to treat osteoarthritis (OA) of knees. This treatment cannot only maintain the viscoelastic properties of knee but also release the OA pain. However, the exact molecular mechanism is unknown. In this study, after human sy
Capillary invasion is a vital regulatory signal during bone morphogenesis that is influenced by angiogenic molecules such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and some members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily, including TGF-betas themselves.

Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) increases steady-state mRNA levels of several extracellular matrix proteins in mineralized connective tissues. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a major constituent of the bone matrix, thought to initiate and regulate the formation of mineral crystals. To determine the
