## Abstract The healing responses of the anterior cruciate ligament and the patellar tendon differ markedly. The anterior cruciate ligament fails to heal, whereas the patellar tendon heals slowly. The basis of these differences is unknown. Since cellular proliferation is a critical element of heali
## Abstract Platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β), potent modulators of mesenchymal cell growth and differentiation, are often colocalizable in vivo. Previous in vitro studies in fibroblastic cell lines have shown variable, even antagonistic effects of TGF‐β
Mitogenic effects of fetal calf serum (FCS), plateletderived growth factor (PDGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), transforming growth factor-p (TGF-P), and forskolin to adult mouse Schwann cells were examined by bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and double immunofluorescence for SlOO and BrdU.
The stimulation of DNA synthesis by epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been studied for a cell line having properties useful for investigating the mechanism of action of EGF in epithelial cell populations. These studies employ a mouse keratinocyte cell line (MK), isolated by Weissman and Aaronson (1
Recent studies in several neuronal lineages suggest that extrinsic factors such as polypeptide growth factors regulate various stages of neuronal development, from initial commitment of multipotent progenitors to induction of specific gene expression that is characteristic of terminal neuronal diffe
