Regulatory role of FGF-2 on type I collagen expression during endothelial mesenchymal transformation.

abstract：:A recent hypothesis for the cellular mechanism of fluid secretion by lacrimal acini has been based, in part, on the results of subcellular fractionation analyses of lacrimal gland fragments which had been incubated for a brief period in vitro. An important assumption in those studies was that the ion transporters and ...
