Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been shown to stimulate cell proliferation after vascular injury. The mitogenic activity of bFGF requires interactions with both a high affinity receptor and a cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan. We tested the ability of platelet factor 4 (PF 4) and other platelet heparin-binding proteins to 1994. 94:261-268.)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
