A review of the influence of growth factors and cytokines in in vitro human keratinocyte migration

► Growth factors and cytokines influence migration of human keratinocytes in vitro. ► Members of EGF, TGF-β, FGF family, HGF, VEGF stimulate migration in scratch assay. ► HGF, TGF-β1 stimulate chemokinetic migration in transwell chamber assay. ► TGF-β1, FGF-7, FGF-2 stimulate chemotactic migration in transwell chamber assay. ► EGF, TGF-α, IL-1α stimulate migration on type I and type IV collagen layers.
