A patient is described with typical skin lesions of lichen myxedematosus and IgG-type lambda paraproteinemia. Fibroblasts cultured from the skin of the patient and from the skin of control persons were used to study glycosaminoglycan and collagen synthesis; the cultures were labelled with SHglucosam

## Background: Various tumours exhibit glycosaminoglycan rich, and in particular hyaluronan rich matrices surrounding them that facilitate tumour growth and invasion. in many tumours, this matrix is predominantly synthesized by fibroblasts following stimulation by tumour cell-derived factors. ## O
## Abstract The effect of insulin on hexose transport in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Studies were carried out on cultures of human skin fibroblasts to explore the effect of insulin on hexose transport in serumβstarved monolayers. Insulin (100 mU/ml) stimulated 2βdeoxyβDβglucose transport (30%
## 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
