Biological roles of KGF, CTGF and TGF-beta in cyclosporine-A- and phenytoin- induced gingival overgrowth: A comparative experimental animal study

摘要

Objective: To identify the possible biological roles of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) in cyclosporine-A (CsA) and phenytoin (PNT)-induced gingival overgrowth (GO) and to correlate them with each other.
