We have previously shown that insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) is produced by bone cells and that IGF-II stimulates cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in bone cells. We now extend these in vitro findings by demonstrating specific IGF-I1 binding to bone cells derived from newborn mouse c
Androgen hormones and growth factors are implicated in pedicle formation and antler transformation in deer. The potential to form a pedicle and an antler is only found in the antlerogenic periosteum (AP) overlying the presumptive antler growth region. Histological studies (Li and Suttie, '94) showed
