... that characterizes the current state of the art. In this review, we describe native skeletal muscle development and identify important growth factors controlling this process. By comparing in vivo myogenesis to in vitro satellite cell cultures and tissue engineering approaches, several key similarities...

... might exert a positive influence on peripheral nerve regeneration. These include their ability to differentiate into cells resembling Schwann cells and their secretion of a plethora of neurotrophic growth factors. We also review the literature describing the effects of these cells when tested using...

.... There are several factors that enhance the differentiation of MSCs into bone tissues. This review focuses on the effects of various inducers on the osteoblast differentiation of MSCs at different stages of cellular development. We discuss the various growth factors, hormones, vitamins, cytokines, chemical...

In order to study EMT in tumor cells, we have characterized 3 new models of ligand-driven EMT: the CFPAC1 pancreatic tumor model...

...Hye-Joung Kim; Young-Ju Kim; Gun-Il Im This study was conducted to determine whether short-term administration of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β would be as effective for inducing chondrogenesis in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) as continuous treatment. Four groups of hMSCs were cultured...

Differences in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein/PG synthesis were also observed when these cell populations were challenged with growth factors and 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Pretreatment of cells for 2 h with PMA strongly enhanced DNA and PG synthesis only in cultures...
