## Abstract Sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P) has been shown to regulate smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration, and vascular maturation. S1P increases the expression of several proteins including COX‐2 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and contributes to arteriosclerosis. However, the mecha
## Abstract The elucidation of factors that support human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) growth has remained unresolved partly because of the reliance of many researchers on ill‐defined, proprietary medium formulation. Thus, we investigated the effects of high glucose (D‐glucose, 25 mM) on hMSCs pr
## Abstract Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) have been shown to be involved in various retinal diseases. We have studied the role of inflammatory cytokines on the expression and secretion of TGF‐β in human RPE cells (HRPE). Confluent cultures of HRPE derived
