Basic fibroblast growth factor in atria and ventricles of the vertebrate heart.

Basic fibroblast growth factor in atria and ventricles of the vertebrate heart

Extracts from atrial and ventricular heart tissue of several species (chicken, rat, sheep, and cow) are strongly mitogenic for chicken skeletal myoblasts, with the highest apparent concentration of biological activity in the atrial extracts. Using several approaches (biological activity assay and biochemical and immunological analyses), we have established that (a) all cardiac extracts contain ...

O-20: The Combination of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor and Follicular Stimulating Hormone Promotes Human Follicle Development In Vitro Culture

Background Fertility preservation is an important part of scientific study in the field of reproductive medicine. Ovarian cryopreservation and in vitro follicles culture provide option for fertility conservation in older women or cancer patients. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) or FGF-2, is member of fibroblast growth factors family which play critical roles in cell migration proliferatio...

Effect of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rabbit

BACKGROUND Tendon injuries are common and it takes a long time for an injured tendon to heal. Adverse phenomena such as adhesion and rupture are associated with these injuries. Finding a method to reduce the time required for healing whichimproves the final outcome, will lead to decreased frequency and intensity of adverse consequences. This study was designed to investigate the effects ...
