## Abstract Advanced age is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis, but how aging per se influences pathogenesis is not clear. Insulinβlike growth factorβ1 receptor (IGFβ1R) promotes aortic vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth, migration, and extracellular matrix formation, but how IGFβ1R sig

The roles of diabetes mellitus, insulin-like growth factor I and insulin in vascular smooth muscle proliferation in vivo were studied. Proliferation was induced by endothelial injury (balloon catheterization) of rat aorta, and was measured as 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA. Levels of insulin-li
During tissue repair and development, matrix accumulation is modulated as multiple signals impinge on target cells. We have investigated the effects of combinations of the mitogenic cytokines, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-a), and insulin-like growth fa
