Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: To investigate effects of FGF-2 on nucleus pulposus cell growth and differentiation. OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the phenotypic changes that occur during expansion of nucleus pulposus cells in monolayer culture, and to investigate the effects of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 on cell growth and differentiation. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Nucleus pulposus cells would have a limited application for...
