## Abstract The insulinβlike growth factor (IGF) is a major anabolic regulator in articular cartilage. The IGFβbinding proteins (IGFBPs) are increased during osteoarthritis (OA), but the function of the later proteins remains unknown. In general, the IGFBPs are pluripotential effectors capable of I
## Abstract Fibronectin, a ubiquitous glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix, serves as a substrate for cell attachment. Binding to fibronectin through cellβsurface receptors promotes a flattened cell shape, stimulates the phosphorylation of intracellular protein, and changes the pattern of gene
## Abstract The synthetic activity of chondrocytes in articular cartilage declines with age, possibly as a result of decreased sensitivity to anabolic growth factors such as insulinβlike growth factorβI. The sensitivity of these cells to insulinβlike growth factorβI is regulated, in pan, by the syn
## Background: In children with chronic renal failure (crf), impairment of longitudinal growth is in part due to excess amounts of circulating high-affinity insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (igfbps) that might decrease or prevent insulin-like growth factor (igf) binding to its signaling
Previously we have shown that transforming growth factor b (TGF b) 1, basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) BB inhibit the synthesis of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) II, but their effects on IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-6 in osteoblast cultures are not kno
