Moreover, epidermal growth-factor-stimulated infantile cells formed larger aggregates.
Furthermore, when infantile cells were challenged to migrate over bovine serum albumin, the migration rate diminished, and, on the contrary, adult cell migration was higher.
However, over collagen, infantile cells increased their migration rate with epidermal growth factor stimulation and adult cells showed a decrease in migration when the growth factor was in the medium.
Results showed a difference in the response of cell migration and cell association capacity to epidermal growth factor after migration of infantile and adult pituitary cells.

The aim of this work was to examine anterior pituitary cell migration over type I and III collagen as well as type IV collagen, of cultured pituitary cells from infantile rats and adult rats, and the participation of the epidermal growth factor in this process.
These publications suggest that infantile hemangiomas may contain cells that are capable of differentiating into all three embryonic germ layers and additionally point to a possible mechanism of clonality in these tumors.
Notably, PDI immunostain was also decreased in variant late-infantile NCL patient lymphoblast cells, compared to normal lymphoblasts (Figure 3, bottom panels), suggesting that the vLINCL mutation may specifically alter PDI epitope availability or distribution within the ER of diverse cell types.
Recent studies have isolated distinct cell populations from infantile hemangiomas that display properties equivalent to aberrant progenitor cells, suggesting that, in addition to malignant tumors, benign tumors may also contain a stem cell-like component.
Thus, rupture of the preweanling young-mother social contact can affect the gonadotroph population activity, especially that relating to FSH-producing cells in the infantile female sheep.
