In this study we investigated the regulation of insulin-like growth factor II gene expression to explain a role for this growth factor in concert with hepatitis B virus involvement in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma from cirrhosis.

The present report investigates the cellular mechanisms involved in the regulation of cell proliferation by insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in the developing inner ear. The results show that insulin and IGF-I stimulate cell proliferation in the otic vesicle. This effect is associate
