Prolactin (PRL) is a potent mitogen in cultured astrocytes. Because one of the major effects of astrocyte proliferation is the expression of inflammatory cytokines, we examined the effect of PRL-induced mitogenesis on the expression of interleukin-1 (IL-I a), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), and tra

We have shown recently that 5-HT is an autocrine growth stimulatory factor for a cell line (BON) that is derived from a human pancreatic carcinoid tumor. This action is mediated by a 5-HT receptor-linked decrease of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) production, but not mediated by a 5-HT receptor
Human kcratinocytes isolated from a skin biopsy and cultured in vitro on a feeder-layer of irradiated fibroblasts reconstitute a stratified squanious epithelium suitable for grafting onto patients suffering from large burn wounds.
