An extract of bovine hypothalamus is known to be mitogenic for human keratinocytes in vitro. In order to identify the responsible substance(s), biochemical characterization and subsequent bioassay of the extract in a serum-free culture system were performed. The keratinocyte growth-promoting activit

We have previously described the mitogenic and wound-healing properties of keratinocyte-conditioned medium (KCM). In this study we investigated the eect of KCM on the activation of second messenger systems and the expression of proto-oncogene in cultured human skin ยฎbroblasts. We also present a part
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor plays a central role in numerous aspects of keratinocyte biology. In normal epidermis, the EGF receptor is important for autocrine growth of this renewing tissue, suppression of terminal differentiation, promotion of cell survival, and regulation of cell mi
