Schwann cells (SCs) are the myelin producing cells of the peripheral nervous system. During development, SCs cease proliferation and differentiate into either a myelin-forming or non-myelin forming mature phenotype. We are interested in the role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in SC developm
## Abstract While extracellular acidification within solid tumors is wellβdocumented, how reduced pH impacts regulation of insulinβlike growth factorβI (IGFβI) has not been studied extensively. Because IGFβI receptor binding is affected by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), we examined how pH impacted
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) play an important role in cell growth and differentiation. Clinical and epidemiological studies have indicated that measuring IGFs and IGFBPs in blood has potential implications in assessing growth-related abnormalities and risks o
