Transforming growth factor type beta (TGF-beta), when injected subcutaneously in newborn
mice, causes formation of granulation tissue (induction of angiogenesis and activation of …

Acidic ethanol extracts of human platelets induced non-neoplastic normal rat kidney fibroblasts
to undergo anchorage-independent growth. Less than 100 ng/ml of the crude extract …

The partial amino-acid sequence of purified human transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)
was used to identify a series of cDNA clones encoding the protein. The cDNA sequence …

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a multifunctional peptide that controls proliferation,
differentiation, and other functions in many cell types. Many cells synthesize TGF-β and …

Alveolar macrophages activated with concanavalin A and peripheral blood monocytes activated
with lipopolysaccharide secrete type beta transforming growth factor (TGF-beta). There …

Cell cycle progression in mammalian cells is strictly regulated by both integrin-mediated
adhesion to the extracellular matrix and by binding of growth factors to their receptors. This …

A specific radioimmunoassay for type beta transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) was
developed and used to show that human platelets treated with thrombin release TGF-beta as a …

Growth factors and the extracellular matrix provide the environmental cues that control the
proliferation of most cell types. The binding of growth factors and matrix proteins to receptor …

The purified amino-terminal fragment (ATF) of human urokinase plasminogen activator (residues
1-135), which is not required for activation of plasminogen, binds with high affinity to …

Platelet-derived growth factor 1–4 (PDGF) is known to be involved in regulating the mitosis
of connective tissue cells, and recent studies have also shown that it may function in …
