Activated liver fat-storing cells (FSC) are known to play a key role in the development of liver fibrosis. An important element in FSC activation process is the increased expression of receptors for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a potent mitogen for FSC. The aim of the present study was to

In human gliomas, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) ligand and receptor mRNA are often co-expressed, which suggests the presence of an autocrine loop. To further investigate the significance of PDGF stimulation in brain tumors, we used a previously developed mouse tumor model, in which malignant
