## Abstract Earlier work showed that thrombin stimulates proliferation of human fibroblasts in serumfree medium. This work demonstrates (1) that thrombin has to be present during most or all of the G1 period to ensure maximal DNA synthesis, (2) that DNA synthesis increases about three hours later a
## Background: Vascular diseases are characterized by the presence of structural changes and the progressive loss of endothelial function. although the biochemical basis of these structural changes have started to be outlined, it seems that accumulation of normal extracellular matrix proteins as we
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) is synthesized and secreted by smooth muscle cells (SMC). IGFBP-5 synthesis is stimulated five-to sixfold by IGF-I, and IGFBP-5 has been shown to augment IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis in this cell type. The ability of IGFBP-5 to augment the SMC
This study tested the effects of hydrostatic pressure (10 MPa) on adult articular chondrocyte mRNA and extracellular matrix synthesis in vitro. High density primary cultures of bovine chondrocytes were exposed to hydrostatic pressure applied intermittently at 1 Hz or constantly for 4 hours in serum-
