The purpose of this study was to investigate if FSH and bFGF regulate fatty acid (FA) metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis in Sertoli cells (SC). SC cultures obtained from 20-day-old rats were incubated with 100 ng/ml ...

Angiogenesis is defined as the formation of new vessels from existing vessels. It is a complex multistep process that includes proliferative migration and differentiation of endothelial cells, degradation of extracelluar ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, the role of bFGF in the proliferation and expression of collagen type I and fibronectin of dog bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (dBMMSCs) in comparison with the ...

Periodontal regeneration is still a challenge in terms of predictability and magnitude of effect. In this study we assess the biological effects of combining chemical root conditioning and biological mediators on three ...

We characterized a subpopulation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons that were previously identified as preferential targets of enkephalins. This group, termed P-neurons after their “pear” shape, sequentially ...

This study evaluated the effects of bFGF and TGF-beta, individually and combined, on cell proliferation and collagen metabolism. Primary human periodontal ligament cells were stimulated with two concentrations (I and 10 ...

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stimulated [H-3]thymidine incorporation at all stages of development, although the magnitude of this effect was the greatest in cells derived from pregnant mice. Cells primed with ...

Introdução: Fatores que melhorem a capacidade de regeneração dos tecidos neurais tem sido constantemente investigados. Um dos possíveis auxiliadores desse processo e o fator básico de crescimento de fibroblasto (b-FGF). ...
