## Abstract This study evaluated the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor, transforming growth factor‐β1, insulin‐like growth factor‐1, and insulin on the incorporation of thymidine and sulfate in human osteoarthritic articular cartilage. Tissue explants were obtained from 11 patients undergoi

Transforming growth factor b1 (TGF-b1) belongs to a family of multifunctional modulatory proteins involved in cell growth, differentiation, development, and wound healing. Although the biological activities of TGF-b1 have been extensively studied, its regulation remains obscure. Here we report the e
## Objective: The ability of growth factors to modulate integrin expression may be important with regard to processes involved in tissue repair and remodeling. this study was undertaken to determine the effect of transforming growth factor beta (tgf beta) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (igf-1) on
The effects of IL-1 p and TGF-P on the biosynthesis of extracellular matrix structural components relative to the metalloproteinases and their inhibitor TlMPl in human articular chondrocytes were investigated. It has been proposed that TGFp, acting as a positive regulator of matrix accretion, can co
Hydrogels are a promising type of biomaterial for articular cartilage constructs since they have been shown to enable encapsulated chondrocytes to express their predominant phenotypic marker, type II collagen. Endogenously expressed signaling molecules, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1),
