1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 09/01/1987 - "In this study the ability of eye-derived growth factor, lectin and tumor-promoting agents on collagenase induction in human fibroblast cells were examined. " 06/01/1984 - "Biochemical and biological properties of the Epidermal, Fibroblast, Astrocytes and Tumor growth factors (EGF, FGF, AGF, TGF) and those of growth factors derived from Platelets (PDGF), Brain (BDGF, ECGF), Eye (EDGF) and Cartilage (CDGF) are reviewed, as well as the in vitro mechanism of action of EGF and PDGF. "
2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 07/01/1986 - "At 24 h, control wounds maintained under occlusive dressing had only about 50% of their surface covered with cells as opposed to EDGF-treated wounds which were covered up to about 80% (p = 0.05). "
3.	Ulcer 01/01/1985 - "EDGF represents a new drug for treatment of ulcer." 01/01/1985 - "[Use of the eye-derived growth factor in the treatment of ulcer of the cornea. " 01/01/1985 - "In the present report, dogs (mainly boxers) with chronic recurrent ulcers resistant to various treatments, including chloramphenicol and reputed wound healing drugs, were treated by morning and evening instillations of drops containing 10 stimulation units of EDGF in phosphate buffer saline. " 01/01/1985 - "A growth factor purified from adult bovine retina and named Eye Derived Growth Factor (EDGF) has been shown to stimulate proliferation of target cells in vitro and in vivo, and to increase the rate of wound healing of experimentally induced corneal ulcers in rabbits. "
4.	Rhabdomyosarcoma 10/01/1985 - "Glycosaminoglycans of cultured nickel-induced rat rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines with different metastatic potentials, grown in the presence or in the absence of hydrocortisone and of growth factor (EDF and EDGF) were investigated comparatively. "
5.	Blister (Bulla) 07/01/1986 - "Our results show that EDGF can significantly increase the rate of reepithelialization when epidermis is detached from dermis and removed after induction of a blister. "
