Analysis of the Effects of Five Factors Relevant to In Vitro Chondrogenesis of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Using Factorial Design and High Throughput mRNA-Profiling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The in vitro process of chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells for tissue engineering has been shown to require three-dimensional culture along with the addition of differentiation factors to the culture medium.

Insulin-like growth factor 1 and hair growth

open access: yesDermatology Online Journal, 1999
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been identified as an important growth factor in many biological systems.[1] It shares considerable structural homology with insulin and exerts insulin-like effects on food intake and glucose metabolism. Recently it has been suggested to play a role in regulating cellular proliferation and migration during the ...

IGF-Binding Proteins: Why Do They Exist and Why Are There So Many?

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are key growth-promoting peptides that act as both endocrine hormones and autocrine/paracrine growth factors. In the bloodstream and in local tissues, most IGF molecules are bound by one of the members of the IGF ...

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 and Transforming Growth Factor-β Stimulate Cystine/Glutamate Exchange Activity in Dental Pulp Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Introduction The growth factors insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) are protective to dental pulp cells in culture against the toxicity of the composite materials Durafill VS and Flow Line (Henry Schein Inc, New ...

In silico interaction of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 with insulin-like growth factor 1

open access: yesResearch in Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2018
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is a vital protein exist in circulation which interacts with high affinity to insulin-like growth factor (IGFs) altering their activities.

Biomarkers of systemic inflammation and growth in early infancy are associated with stunting in young Tanzanian children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Stunting can afflict up to one-third of children in resource-constrained countries. We hypothesized that low-grade systemic inflammation (defined as elevations in serum C-reactive protein or alpha-1-acid glycoprotein) in infancy suppresses the growth ...

Increased circulating insulin-like growth factor-1 in late-onset Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease ( AD). Methods: We compared the level of circulating total and bioavailable IGF-1, by simultaneous measurements of IGF-1 and IGF binding ...

Meta‐analysis of peripheral insulin‐like growth factor 1 levels in schizophrenia

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, 2023
Objective We aimed to investigate if there is a significant difference in peripheral insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) levels between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls and to determine whether a difference exists before and after initiation ...

Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptors and insulin-like growth factor-1-like activity in human primary breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCancer, 1989
In the current study the authors have investigated whether human primary breast cancer specimens contain insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptors (IGF-1-R) or IGF-1-like activities. Simultaneously, epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors (EGF-R) and cytosolic estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and EGF-like activity were ...
