## Abstract ## BACKGROUND 2,3,7,8‐Tetrachlorodibenzo‐p‐dioxin (TCDD) is teratogenic in mice, producing cleft palate (CP). TCDD exposure disrupts expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, EGF, and transforming growth factor‐α (TGFα) in the palate and affects proliferation and differenti

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The enhanced ability of murine serum to support growth of 3T3 cells, when compared with fetal calf serum, is also evident on variants of 3T3 cells lacking the ability to bind epidermal growth factor (EGF). Variant 3T3 cell lines unable to bind EGF also retain a mitogenic response to fibroblast growth factor.

## Abstract The growth of SV3T3 cells in medium containing a low concentration (0.20% v/v) of normal calf serum is enhanced by the addition of biotin or certain unsaturated fatty acids. The biotin effect on the final viable cell density is 5‐ to 10‐fold over the control and is extremely potent, exe
Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been found to reduce accelerated cell growth. To study the underlying molecular mechanisms, we evaluated the effects of the n-3 PUFAs eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) compared with the n-6 PUFA arachidonic acid (AA) on ce
Exposure to arsenic, either through chronic consumption of contaminated water or inhalation, is associated with increased risk of cancer, yet the mechanism by which arsenicals promote neoplastic change remains undefined. The carcinogenic process involves the formation of heritable genetic changes in
