Prolactin also stimulates proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells.
Although the FGF family of paracrine factors has a broad range of functions, major findings support the idea that they primarily stimulate proliferation and differentiation.
This hormone stimulates proliferation and differentiation of red cell precursors, which activates increased erythropoiesis in the hemopoietic tissues, ultimately producing red blood cells.
Previous studies have shown VEGF can stimulate proliferation of synthesis of collagen type 1 in activated myofibroblast-like cells.
It is highly expressed in tumor stroma and stimulates tumor-cell proliferation.
Icariine stimulates proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblasts by increasing production of bone morphogenetic protein 2.
If the T cells were to become activated they would stimulate proliferation of keratinocytes resulting in the typical psoriatic symptoms.
Other paratopes bind better to epitopes that are "slightly" different from the original epitope that had stimulated proliferation.
In mature B cells, activation through the BCR stimulates cellular proliferation and differentiation.
Conversely, leptin stimulates cytokine activation and immune-cell proliferation, an effect that predisposes to inflammatory conditions [4].
