We have shown earlier that mechanical stimulation by intermittent hydrostatic compression (IHC) inhibits bone resorption and stimulates bone formation in cultured fetal mouse calvariae (Klein-Nulend et al., 1986, Arthritis Rheum., 29; 1002-1009). The production of soluble bone factors by such calvar

✦ Synopsis
The effect of transforming growth factor-a (TGFa) on granulosa cell differentiation, as assessed by the acquisition of aromatase activity, was evaluated in vitro by using a primary culture of rat granulosa cells. Harvested from immature,

We have previously shown that rat liver epithelial cells (RLEC) transfected with and constitutively expressing transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) have an enhanced mitogenic response to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). In the study reported here, we examined tumor clones derived from the TGF-α trans
Retinoids and vitamin D analogues are known to inhibit the proliferation of a variety of cells in culture and prevent the formation of certain tumors in mammals. Although it is well established that these hormones control the transcription of many genes upon binding to and activating specific nuclea
## Abstract We conducted an experiment to determine whether expression of transforming growth factor‐α (TGF‐α) enhances tumorigenicity in a low‐tumorigenicity rat bladder carcinoma cell line and whether it is sufficient to induce a tumorigenic phenotype in a nontumorigenic rat bladder cell line. D4
Oxidative stress plays a key role in liver fibrosis. Both inflammatory cells and activated Kupffer cells produce H 2 O 2 , an oxidant involved in the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC). Increased production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) in fibrotic livers is associated in part with
