The effect of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) during wound healing in the
skin was investigated, using HGF/SF-overexpressing transgenic mouse model. Histological …

The pleiotropic growth factor hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) has been
implicated by clinical and experimental studies in repair mechanisms in different organs and …

Genetic studies in the mouse have highlighted essential roles for several growth factors in
skin repair and have offered a rationale for their use in therapy. The present study shows …

Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a pleiotropic growth factor produced
principally by cells of mesenchymal origin. HGF/SF is an important mitogen, morphogen …

We examined effects of recombinant hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on cutaneous wound
healing, using a full-thickness cutaneous excision model in diabetic mice. Topical …

This study examined the effects of matrix-embedded human fibroblasts, a predominant cell
type in the injured tissue, on the tissue expansion and angiogenesis. Using a co-culture …

Skin expression of the endothelial cell-specific vascular permeability factor/vascular
endothelial growth factor (VPF/VEGF) as an outstanding mediator of physiologic and …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor (SF) is a multifunctional factor considered to be
potentially involved in tissue regeneration, wound healing, embryogenesis, angiogenesis …

BACKGROUND: Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent regenerative factor involved in
wound healing. Previous studies have shown that mesenchymal cells produce HGF …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) regulates cell growth, cell motility, and morphogenesis in
various types of cells, including epithelial and endothelial cells, indicating that it probably …
