Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) play an important role in cell growth and differentiation. Clinical and epidemiological studies have indicated that measuring IGFs and IGFBPs in blood has potential implications in assessing growth-related abnormalities and risks o

Proteus syndrome is a congenital hamartomatous disorder characterized by partial overgrowth involving all germ layers. A somatic mutation model has been proposed since familial cases are extremely rare. We report on a 3-year-old girl with typical manifestations of Proteus syndrome, including local,
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 effects proliferation and differentiation of numerous cell types by binding to insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and attenuating their activity or by directly affecting cells in an IGFindependent manner. Consequently, IGFBPs produced by specific c
Osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1 or BMP-7) stimulates new bone formation in vivo and induces cell proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in vitro. Previous studies from our laboratory revealed that OP-1 led to a two-to threefold increase in steady-state insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and I
