Opis

This volume contains the proceedings of the International Symposium on Growth Factors and Wound Healing: Basic Science and Potential Clinical Applications, held in Boston from September 28-October 1, 1995. The objective of this symposium is to provide basic and clinical investigators state-of-the-art information on the biology of wound healing and tissue repair. Written and edited by eminent experts in the field, the papers herein cover the general concepts of wound healing; the role of nutrients in wound healing responses; endogenous growth factors and wound healing; clinical applications of growth hormone and IGF-1 therapy; and clinical applications of peptide growth factors.
