Synthesis of human growth hormone achieved at UC San Francisco
UC San Francisco researchers led by Dr. C H Li and Dr. Donald Yamashiro reproduced human growth hormone HGH in the laboratory, a major breakthrough that may fuel research into cancer diabetes and metabolism.

The synthetic HGH could eventually aid 10 000 to 50 000 dwarfed children yearly who now lack adequate treatment and may illuminate questions about height growth weight and cancer.
