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 Fibroblast–collagen matrix contraction has been used as a model system to study how cells organize connective tissue. Previous work showed that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)‐stimulated floating collagen matrix contraction is independent of Rho kinase while platelet‐derived growth factor (
## Abstract ## Objective To determine whether the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mediates signal transduction in articular cartilage in response to mechanical loading. ## Methods Articular cartilage from porcine metacarpophalangeal or knee joints was cyclically loaded (62.5–250N) for 2 mi
