Hepatocyte growth factor, a potent mitogen for epithelial and other cell types, and scatter factor, a stimulant of epithelial cell motility are identical. In addition to these mitogenic and motogenic functions, the factor has been shown to be an epithelial morphogen and also has antiproliferative ef

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor c-met are present in several human tissues but their expression in mesothelial cells has not been examined. In this study, we have investigated the expression of HGF and c-met in normal human mesothelial cells and 11 human malignant mesothelioma cell l
Induction of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) may be one of the critical steps in organ regeneration, wound healing, and embryogenesis. We previously reported the production of HGF/SF from various human leukemia cell lines and a high level of the growth factor in blood and bone marro
