## Abstract Epidermal growth factor (EGF) at nanomolar concentrations stimulated DNA synthesis in confluent, serum‐starved cultures of calf aorta and human uterine smooth muscle cells. Stimulation of DNA synthesis in lens epithelial cells was studied for comparison. L and D‐ascorbic acid potentiate

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) causes gender-and development-specific changes in fetal lung surfactant synthesis. We hypothesized that the effects of EGF on development of surfactant synthesis are related to effects on EGF receptor (EGF-R) expression. We prepared sex-specific fetal rabbit lung organ
## Abstract The effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) were studied in rat pituitary tumor cells, GH~3~, grown in serum‐supplemented and serum‐free chemically defined media. EGF (1 nM) increased the cell number to 132% of the control cultured in the defined medium during a 6‐day incubation period
## Abstract Rat hepatoma cells were cultured in a medium with suboptimal concentration of fetal calf serum. In this low serum culture, retinoic acid inhibited the cell proliferation and enhanced the number of receptors for epidermal growth factor (EGF). On the contrary, teleocidin, a possible natur
