The hemocyte line BTI-EA-1174-A from the lepidopteran insect Estigmene acraea responds to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by an enhanced phagocytic reaction and a dose-dependent increase of lysozyme release [Wittwer et al., Dev Comp Immunol 21:323 (1997)]. This paper provides evidence for a stron

Cultures of BHK2l cells continuously release into serum-free medium, active materials which stimulate the incorporation of thymidine in non-confluent, but not in confluent cultures of homotypic cells. The activity is not removed by centrifugation at 30,000 g for four hours, but is non-dialysable and
We have shown earlier that mechanical stimulation by intermittent hydrostatic compression (IHC) inhibits bone resorption and stimulates bone formation in cultured fetal mouse calvariae (Klein-Nulend et al., 1986, Arthritis Rheum., 29; 1002-1009). The production of soluble bone factors by such calvar
## Abstract Stimulation of postconfluent Swiss 3T3 cells in serumβfree medium with 4.3 mM Ca^2+^ results in marked increases in both released and cellβassociated plasminogen activator (PA). Increased release of PA commenced approximately 10 to 12 hours postβstimulation and continued to increase ste
