โฆ Synopsis
SEVEN FIGURES
I n the course of previous studies of the electrical potential of frog skin (compare Barnes, '39 a, b, '40) it was noted that this potential is very sensitive to mechanical manipulation. Accordingly a special investigation was made of variations in potential associated with disturbances of a mechanical nature such as contact, pressure, tension and puncturing of the skin.

I n a study of the influence of acidity upon electrical phenomena across the frog's skin, Amberson and Klein ('28) observed that, with Na acetate buffers, there was an approximate agreement between the pH at which concentration potentials were reversed and the reversal point for electroendosmosis ac
Heparin and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) bind many soluble growth factors and this binding is now recognized as an important mechanism for modulation of cell activity. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) is one of the best characterized of the heparin-binding growth factors and it has been sh
## FIVE FIGURES Electrical polarity of cells and cell aggregates has not until recently been recognized as an important condition associated with the usual structural evidence for the existence of organic polarity. The significance of this electrical polarity lies in the fact that it seems for the
