[Biologically active substances from the skin that influence the proliferation and differentiation of cultured human keratinocytes]. / Biologicheski aktivnye veshchestva kozhi, vliiaiushchie na proliferatsiiu i differentsirovku kul'tiviruemykh keratinotsitov cheloveka.

Three fractions of biologically active substances of human skin varying in molecular weight (F1 > 15 kD, F2 1.4-15 kD, F3 < 1.4 kD) were tested in primary and regenerating cultures of human epidermal keratinocytes. F1 and F3 caused stimulation of keratinocyte proliferation, F2 inhibited proliferation and enhanced terminal differentiation of epidermal cells.
