Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a polypeptide found in a variety of tissues, including bone, where it could act as an autologous regulator of skeletal remodeling. Therefore, a recombinant B chain homodimer of human PDGF was studied for its effects on bone formation in cultured rat calvariae

An improved plasma clot culture system was developed for the culture of rat megakaryocyte colonies in vitro. Greater stimulation of megakaryocyte colony growth was provided when both serum and plasma were added to the culture medium than when plasma was added alone. Freeze-thawed extracts prepared f
## Abstract The shortβterm and longβterm effects on the growth zone in articular cartilage of transforming growth factorβΞ²1 and plateletβderived growth factorβBB injected intraarticularly into the knee joint of growing rats were investigated.

Angiogenesis is a crucial event in the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Migration and proliferation of endothelial cells (EC) are important steps in angiogenesis and are caused by angiogenic factors such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). In this work, capillary EC were isolated from rabb
Although increased free intracellular calcium (Cai) may be one of the main regulators of cell growth and differentiation, studies in cell populations have implied that not all growth factors produce C q increases. In order to examine in more detail whether C q increases were related to mitogenesis,
