## Abstract Fibroblasts cultivated in three‐dimensional tissue‐like matrices are characterized by a slowed metabolism and a decrease of protein synthesis, unless they are submitted to physical tensions. We checked the effects of insulin like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I), known as a potent stimulator of
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
