Influence of exogenous growth factors on the expression of plasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitors by cells isolated from normal and healing rabbit ligaments.

Abstract excerpt

In this investigation, we demonstrate that cells from normal and healing rabbit ligaments are selective in their responsiveness to various growth factors. The cells analyzed included fibroblasts isolated from the synovium, the anterior cruciate ligament, and the medial collateral ligament (midsubstance and epiligament). Fibroblasts isolated from scar tissue of medial collateral ligament that had been allowed to...
