Endothelial cell-derived basic fibroblast growth factor: synthesis and deposition into subendothelial extracellular matrix.

Bovine aortic and corneal endothelial cells synthesize a growth factor that remains mostly cell-associated but can also be extracted from the subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) deposited by these cells. The endothelial cell-derived growth factors extracted from cell lysates and from the extra... View More
