## Abstract We are developing a decellularized boneβanterior cruciate ligament (ACL)βbone allograft for treatment of ACL disruption in young or active patients. This study demonstrates the feasibility of seeding decellularized ACL tissue with primary ligament fibroblasts. Porcine ACLs were decellul
Type beta transforming growth factor (B-TGF) is a potent growth inhibitor to many human tumor cell lines. Very little is known about the mechanism for this growth inhibitory action of B-TGF. We here report the effect of B-TGF on proliferation and epidermal growth factor receptor (R-EGF) expression i
