The pathogenesis of glornerular scarring i s multifactional; recent evidence suggests that transforming growth factor P (TGFP), a pleiotropic cicatricial mediator, may promote mesangial sclerosis by enhancing the production of extracellular matrix proteins. We studied the effect of TGFPl and TFGP2 o

We have cultured human Wilms' tumors (nephroblastomas) in vitro and examined their growth properties, tumorigenicity in nude mice, karyotypes, and production of a platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-like activity (PDGF,). The cultured Wilms' tumor cells do not exhibit transformed growth properties
Human diploid fibroblasts (HDF) were used to study aging-related changes in the pro1 iferative response to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (ELF), and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I, somatomedin-C) in serumfree, chemically defined culture medium. Cell cycle kinetic
