To study the roles of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) in the differentiation of tongue myoblasts, we established a mouse tongue organ culture system and examined the effects of exogenous IGF-I, exogenous IGFBP4, 5, 6, and des(1-3)IGF-I, an IGF-I analogue with r…
