Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that changes in the extracellular matrix environment regulate rat mesangial cell growth by modulation of the expression of both PDGF-receptor alpha- and beta-subunits. We investigated the mitogenic effects of the PDGF isoforms AA, AB and BB in conventional two-dimensional (2D) culture on laminin, fibronectin, type I, IV and V collagen and in the different spatial...
