Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 05/01/1992 - "Since the factor seems to mediate various organ injuries, we named it "injurin."" 01/01/1993 - "Because "injurin", a protenous factor which induces HGF mRNA expression, was detected in the plasma of rats with various organ injuries, it seems to increase HGF mRNA expression in non-injured organs and HGF produced in non-injured organs may also participate in the regeneration of the liver or kidney through an endocrine mechanism.
