Abstract excerpt
Heparin-binding fibroblast growth factors (HBGF) have been implicated in the regeneration of both parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells of the liver. The response to and phenotype of hepatocyte receptors for HBGF-1 (acidic fibroblast growth factor) and HBGF-2 (basic fibroblast growth factor) were compared to keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. HBGF-1 stimulated DNA synthesis in hepatocytes,...
