Insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐i) stimulates protein synthesis and collagen gene expression in monolayer and lattice cultures of fibroblasts
1 Aug 1992
Abstract excerpt
Fibroblasts cultivated in three-dimensional tissue-like matrices are characterized by a slowed metabolism and a decrease of protein synthesis, unless they are submitted to physical tensions. We checked the effects of insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I), known as a potent stimulator of mitogenesis and protein synthesis for many cell types, in various models of cultures: confluent monolayers, collagen lattices,...
