Effects of EGF on proliferation and collagen synthesis of serial passaged rat growth plate chondrocytes / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

0.05). [3H]-proline incorporation in testing groups was 20% higher than that in control. CONCLUSION: The present study suggests EGF is able to enhance RGCs proliferation and collagen synthesis. Dedifferentiation caused by serial passage decreases proliferative effect of EGF on RGCs, but has no effect on collagen synthesis enhancement.
