## Abstract Carcinoma‐associated fibroblasts (CAF) promote tumor progression of pre‐neoplastic epithelial cells. To investigate the basis of this phenomenon, we compared the properties of fibroblasts cultured from normal human prostate (NHPF) to prostate CAF. NHPF and CAF were assayed for growth po

The effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on the synthesis of carii lage-r~ki~ rix protenglycan by cultured rabbit chondrocytes were examined. Rabbit chondrocytes were seeded at low density and exposed to a 1 :1 mixture of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and Ham's F-12 medium supp
## Background: Genetically engineered chondrocytes could be used to enhance cartilage repair. fibroblast growth factor 2 (fgf-2) is a mitogen for chondrocytes and may be a candidate for gene transfer approaches to stimulate chondrocyte proliferation. in the present study, we tested the hypothesis t
## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) autoregulates its expression in several mammalian cell types. We now report that addition of TGF‐βs 1, 2, and 3 to primary chicken embryo cells differentially affects expression of the messenger RNAs for the different TGF‐β isoforms depending on t
## Background: Defects of articular cartilage are an unsolved problem in orthopaedics. in the present study, we tested the hypothesis that gene transfer of human fibroblast growth factor 2 (fgf-2) via transplantation of encapsulated genetically modified articular chondrocytes stimulates chondrogene
## Abstract The immunologic response to prosthetic biomaterial particles is characterized by macrophage‐rich inflammatory infiltrate, formation of multinucleated giant cells, and aseptic loosening at the site of arthro‐plasty. We investigated the __in vivo__ expression and tissue distribution of tr
