To examine the role of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the in vivo regulation of Schwann cell proliferation, steady-state levels of mRNAs encoding PDGF A and B chains, and PDGF a and p receptors were measured in immature and adult rat sciatic nerves and in cultured rat Schwann cells. PDGF B
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a polypeptide found in a variety of tissues, including bone, where it could act as an autologous regulator of skeletal remodeling. Therefore, a recombinant B chain homodimer of human PDGF was studied for its effects on bone formation in cultured rat calvariae
An improved plasma clot culture system was developed for the culture of rat megakaryocyte colonies in vitro. Greater stimulation of megakaryocyte colony growth was provided when both serum and plasma were added to the culture medium than when plasma was added alone. Freeze-thawed extracts prepared f
