Reactivity of scleroderma fibroblasts to lymphoid cell-derived fibroblast growth factor (FGF) was assessed in this study. The fibroblasts from the sclerotic lesion failed to respond to FGF, whereas those from scleroedematous lesions responded equally to normal fibroblast. Response of the fibroblast
Abnormal growth regulation in lesional skin fibroblasts may be related to scleroderma pathogenesis. We report on the abnormal response of cultured fibroblasts derived from sclerotic lesions to various growth factors. We investigated the responses of skin fibroblasts (10 strains) and normal fibroblas
