Comparative StudyComparative study on the effects of different growth factors on migration of bovine corneal endothelial cells during wound healing.
In a comparative study we investigated the effects of epidermal growth factor, acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor, transforming growth factor-beta1, and vascular endothelial growth factor on proliferation and migration of cultured bovine corneal endothelial cells during wound healing. ⋯ Whereas epidermal growth factor and the basic and acidic forms of fibroblast growth factor enhance proliferation as well as migration during wound healing, vascular endothelial growth factor seems to be a stimulatory agent specific for corneal endothelial cell migration.
