## Abstract ## Background and Objective The authors investigated the effects of low level laser irradiation on the proliferation rate of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) in vitro. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods HGF were obtained from gingival connective tissue explants and cultured under
Fibrosis is frequently found in diseases exhibiting tissue eosinophilia, such as some parasitic worm infections, eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome, and eosinophilic fasciitis. Previously, eosinophil extracts have been shown to induce proliferation in neonatal foreskin fibroblasts in vitro. To determine
This study tested the effects of hydrostatic pressure (10 MPa) on adult articular chondrocyte mRNA and extracellular matrix synthesis in vitro. High density primary cultures of bovine chondrocytes were exposed to hydrostatic pressure applied intermittently at 1 Hz or constantly for 4 hours in serum-
## Abstract Flexor tendons have an intrinsic ability for repair, with a capacity to metabolize matrix components and to proliferate. To identify factors with the potential of affecting those abilities, the effects of recombinant human insulinlike growth factor (rhIGF‐I), insulin and fetal calf seru
