Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a growth factor with pleiotropic effects on different cell types. It acts as a mitogen and motility factor for many epithelial cells. HGF/SF and its receptor Met are present in the developing and adult mammalian brain and control neuritogenesis of

Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a multifunctional polypeptide which acts as mitogen, motogen, or morphogen. In this study, we examined the effect of HGF/SF on human hair growth using organ and cell culture systems. HGF/SF was found to stimulate hair length and DNA synthesis in ha
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor c-met are present in several human tissues but their expression in mesothelial cells has not been examined. In this study, we have investigated the expression of HGF and c-met in normal human mesothelial cells and 11 human malignant mesothelioma cell l
