Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) affects hematopoietic cells directly and that it may also act indirectly by modulating stromal cell functions. We tested the response of phenotypically and functionally distinct stromal cell clones to this cytokine. We studied cell...
