## BACKGROUND. Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a potent mitogen for various neoplastic cells, including neoplastic bronchial epithelia. ## METHODS. Immunoreactive hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) was measured in extracts prepared from 129 nonsmall cell lung c

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
## Abstract Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) stimulates the migration of myogenic cells during the development of skeletal muscles. The inactivation of HGF genes or that of its receptor, cβmet, in mice causes hypoplasia of skeletal muscle organs, such as the tongue. Basic fibroblast growth factor (FG
## Abstract The effect of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) on the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts was examined. At concentrations above 1.0 ng/ml, both native and recombinant human HGF/SF stimulated the DNA synthesis determined by [^3^H]thymidine incorporation, which was com
## Abstract The receptor for the hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF), cβMet, plays a role in tumour promotion, progression and metastasis. In this study, we analysed chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis in mice lacking a functional HGF receptor in their liver. Control and cβMet defi
Angiogenesis is a possible target in the treatment of human gliomas. To evaluate the role of 3 growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), in the angiogenic cascade, we determined their levels
