Gap junctional communication (GJC) between contacting cells has been postulated to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. This suggestion stems from numerous studies showing modulation of GJC by agents that influence cellular proliferation. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a stro
Steady-state levels of rat central nervous system (CNS) platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A-and B-chain mRNAs were measured by a polymerase chain reaction method employing a synthetic gene internal standard, and the rates of transcription of PDGF A-and B-chain genes in CNS were estimated by a nu
Recent years have seen a considerable emphasis on growth factors and the elucidation of their mode of function, which has led to the recognition that growth factors, their receptors as well as downstream elements of signalling associated with their function might be potential targets in therapeutic
