Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor (HB-EGF) stimulates cell proliferation in the adult mammalian brain, but the mechanism involved is unknown. To address this issue we treated mouse brain cerebral cortical cultures enriched in neuronal precursors with full-length HB-EGF

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Cleavage of membrane‐anchored heparin‐binding epidermal growth factor‐like growth factor (proHB‐EGF) yields a soluble HB‐EGF isoform (sHB‐EGF), which is an activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligand and a C‐terminal fragment HB‐EGF‐C acting directly in the
## Abstract Heparin‐binding epidermal growth factor‐like growth factor (HB‐EGF) has been shown to be a potent smooth muscle cell (SMC) mitogen and chemoattractant, and might be a candidate factor for the progression of atherosclerosis. We have investigated the effects of high glucose and hyperosmol
The function of the endometrium in the implantation of the blastocyst depends on the regulated, cyclical regeneration of endometrial tissue and the expression of a receptive phenotype in response to steroid hormones. Experiments using animal and models suggest that heparin-binding epidermal growth f
