## Abstract Human colon cancer cells produce and secrete a variety of polypeptide growth factors. The functional role of these growth factors, however, is poorly understood. Though the secretion of epidermal growth factor (EGF)‐like activity and EGF‐related molecules by human colon cancer cells in
Serially transplantable rat mammary tumor (RMT) cells are not dependent on exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I for continuous growth in serum-free medium. Previously, we found that conditioned medium obtained from these cells contained EGF-like mitogenic activity
Hair cells, the sensory receptors of the mammalian inner ear, have long been thought to be produced only during embryogenesis, and postnatal hair cell loss is considered to be irreversible and is associated with permanent hearing and balance deficits. Little is known about the factors that regulate
Transforming growth factor  (TGF-) as well as tumor necrosis factor ␣ (TNF-␣) gene expression are up-regulated in chronically inflamed liver. These cytokines were investigated for their influence on apoptosis and proliferation of activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Spontaneous apoptosis in ac
