Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a widely expressed growth factor secreted by cells of
mesenchymal origin, which has been shown to be involved in growth processes of multiple …

It has become evident that the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) could be involved in the
growth of various epithelial cells. In addition, it has recently been elucidated that the c-met …

Hepatocyte growth factor has several activities in epithelial cells, including mitogenesis,
dissociation of epithelial sheets, stimulation of motility, and promotion of matrix invasion …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has an important role not only in liver regeneration buy also
in the development of cancer metastasis. It has been known that HGF and its receptor/c-MET …

Increased levels of expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its specific receptor c‐
met have been shown in the liver of several benign and malignant pathologies, both in …

The c‐met proto‐oncogene encodes the tyrosine kinase receptor for hepatocyte growth
factor (HGF), a potent mitogen and motogen for epithelial cells. Because of its profound …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a stromal‐derived cytokine that plays a crucial role in
invasion and metastasis of tumor cells through the interaction with HGF receptor, c‐Met …

Background: Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) stimulates proliferation, migration and
morphogenesis of epithelial cells by specific binding to its receptor c-met. Overexpression of …

Results HGF and c-Met were detected by the two techniques used in esophagus, fundus,
antrum, duodenum, cecum, colon and rectum where they were localized in epithelial and …

Background: Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent mitogen for hepatocytes in vivo as
well as in vitro. Serum levels of HGF vary in liver diseases, reflecting liver damage and …
