Control of human endometrial stromal cell motility by PDGF-BB, HB-EGF and trophoblast-secreted factors [PDF]
Human implantation involves extensive tissue remodeling at the fetal-maternal interface. It is becoming increasingly evident that not only trophoblast, but also decidualizing endometrial stromal cells are inherently motile and invasive, and likely ...

Platelet-derived transforming growth factor-β1 promotes keratinocyte proliferation in cutaneous wound healing. [PDF]
Platelets are a recognised potent source of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1), a cytokine known to promote wound healing and regeneration by stimulating dermal fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition.

Expression and function of PDGF-C in development and stem cells
Platelet-derived growth factor C (PDGF-C) is a relatively new member of the PDGF family, discovered nearly 20 years after the finding of platelet-derived growth factor A (PDGF-A) and platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B).

Alveolar fluid in acute respiratory distress syndrome promotes fibroblast migration: role of platelet-derived growth factor pathway [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Fibroblast migration is an initiating step in fibroproliferation; its involvement during acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome remains poorly understood. The aims of this study were: 1) to determine whether bronchoalveolar

Role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of tissue fibrosis in systemic sclerosis. [PDF]
The most severe clinical and pathologic manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc) are the result of a fibrotic process characterized by the excessive and often progressive deposition of collagen and other connective tissue macromolecules in skin and ...

The key components of Schwann cell-like differentiation medium and their effects on gene expression pattern of adipose-derived stem cells. [PDF]
BackgroundSchwann cell-like cells differentiated from adipose-derived stem cells may have an important role in peripheral nerve regeneration. Herein, we document the individual effects of growth factors in Schwann cell-like differentiation medium ...
