Early signals in the mitogenic response

TL;DR: Polypeptide growth factors, regulatory peptides, and a variety of pharmacological agents acting alone or synergistically induce mitogenesis in cultured fibroblasts are integrated in a unified hypothesis for the regulation of fibroblast growth.

The free radical theory of aging.

TL;DR: The free radical theory of aging postulates that aging changes are caused by free radical reactions, and data indicate that average life expectancy at birth may be increased by 5 or more years, by nutritious low caloric diets supplemented with one or more free radical reaction inhibitors.

Syndromes of accelerated atherosclerosis: role of vascular injury and smooth muscle cell proliferation.

TL;DR: The role of vascular injury in the pathogenesis of spontaneous and accelerated atherosclerosis, and the resultant cellular pathophysiologic responses, specifically, lipid accumulation, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation and smooth muscle cell proliferation, are discussed.

Isolation of a Mouse Submaxillary Gland Protein Accelerating Incisor Eruption and Eyelid Opening in the New-born Animal

TL;DR: The isolation of the factor responsible for the earlier development of the incisors and eyelids is reported here, a heat-stable, nondialysable, antigenic protein, whose most distinctive chemical characteristic is the absence of phenylalanine and lysine.

A Platelet-Dependent Serum Factor That Stimulates the Proliferation of Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells In Vitro

TL;DR: Much of the growth-promoting activity of dialyzed serum is directly or indirectly derived from platelets, which has important implications for the response of arteries to localized injury and provides a key to further understanding of the role of factors derived from blood serum in promoting cell proliferation in vitro.

125I-labeled human epidermal growth factor. Binding, internalization, and degradation in human fibroblasts.

TL;DR: The data are consistent with a mechanism in which 125I-hEGF initially is bound to the cell surface and subsequently is internlized before degradation, and the binding capacity of these cells is restored by incubation in a serum-containing medium.
