Many investigators are interested in finding the new cultural systems that can support the in vitro development of pre-implantation embryos better. Previous studies suggested that growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) are important in pre-implantation embryo development and implantation process. On the other hand, it is very important to support post thaw development of frozen em...

objective: cryopreservation of ovarian tissue or follicles has been proposed as an alternative method for fertility preservation. although successful vitrification of follicles has been reported in several mammalian species, the survival rate is generally low. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fibroblast growth factor (fgf) and epidermal growth factor (egf) on in vitro pre...

Abstract Edible bird's nest (EBN) is a traditional food which was nourishing and functional. Particularly, there the epidermal growth factor (EGF) in EBN, thought to play an important role promoting skin repair. However, type content of EGF EBN were not determined yet. In this study, identified as bird by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method validated be accurate precise. Moreover, it found...

The chronic lesion has become a major biological difficulty. Using nanoparticles as drug delivery systems is remarkable nowadays. unique properties of chitosan in combination with epidermal growth factor (EGF) can accelerate the wound-healing process. In this study, Chitosan-EGF (CS-EGF) were manipulated and characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) microscopy, dynamic light scatt...

oral lichen planus (olp) is classified as a potential malignant disorder, and epidermal growth factor (egf) may play a key role in cancer development. the aim of this study was to compare serum and saliva egf among patients with olp and oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc). a cross-sectional study was performed on 27 patients with olp (10 reticular and 17 atrophic-erosive forms), 27 patients wit...

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays an important role in nutrients transport. The present study was to investigate the effects of EGF on glucose absorption a cellular injury model (IPEC-J2 cells, vitro study) and animal (weaned piglets, vivo established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In study: porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) were divided into four treatments: control group (Control)...

The epidermal growth-factor-like domain A (EGF-A) of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is a promising lead for therapeutic inhibition proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). However, clinical potential EGF-A limited by its suboptimal affinity PCSK9. Here, we use phage display to identify analogues with extended bioactive segments that have improved most potent analogue, ...

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) acts as a paracrine and autocrine mediator of cell proliferation differentiation in various types epithelial cells, such sebocytes, which produce the lipid-rich sebum to moisturize skin. However, lipids via direct contact by penetrating through epidermis may have regulatory roles on epidermal dermal cells well. As EGF receptor (EGFR) is expressed throughout prolife...

Objective: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays an important role in wound healing. But, bioavailability of EGF is impaired chronic diabetic foot ulcer (CDFU) due to increased protease activity. The study's objective was evaluate the effect intralesional human-EGF (h-EGF) on healing patients with CDFU. Material and Methods: Twenty-eight CDFU were included study. 75 µg h-EGF thrice a week for 5 w...
