Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a mitogenic factor that is implicated in smooth muscle cell growth in atherosclerosis and vascular restenosis. In this study, we examined the effect of bFGF on the expression of the interstitial collagenase gene in human vascular smooth muscle cells. Results
Background: Stricture formation occurs in %30% of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and is a significant cause of morbidity. Strictures are characterized by intestinal smooth muscle cell hyperplasia, smooth muscle cell hypertrophy, and fibrosis due to excess net extracellular matrix production, inc
