Autoimmune hyperphosphatemic tumoral calcinosis in a patient with FGF23 autoantibodies [PDF]
, 2018 Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC)/hyperostosis-hyperphosphatemia syndrome (HHS) is an autosomal recessive disorder of ectopic calcification due to deficiency of or resistance to intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23). Inactivating

Selective Desensitization of Growth Factor Signaling by Cell Adhesion to Fibronectin [PDF]
, 2007 Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix is required to execute growth factor (GF)-mediated cell behaviors, such as proliferation. A major underlying mechanism is that cell adhesion enhances GF-mediated intracellular signals, such as extracellular ...

Status and future directions of anti-metastatic cancer nanomedicines for the inhibition of cathepsin L [PDF]
, 2020 Angiogenesis, tissue invasion and metastasis in the tumour microenvironment are all critical hallmarks of cancer. Upregulation of cathepsin L plays an important role in angiogenesis and metastasis through its ability to degrade the extracellular matrix ...

Normal Human Melanocytes That Express a bFGF Transgene Still Require Exogenous bFGF for Growth In Vitro [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1998 The expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been implicated as an important factor in the development of malignant melanoma. The timing of this expression suggests that bFGF plays a role early in melanoma tumor progression. Benign nevi produce bFGF, and cells cultured from these lesions show a loss of dependence on exogenous bFGF for ...

Successful reprogramming of epiblast stem cells by blocking nuclear localization of β-catenin. [PDF]
, 2014 Epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) in mice and rats are primed pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). They barely contribute to chimeric embryos when injected into blastocysts.

Specific Preferences in Lineage Choice and Phenotypic Plasticity of Glioma Stem Cells Under BMP4 and Noggin Influence [PDF]
, 2015 Although BMP4-induced differentiation of glioma stem cells (GSCs) is well recognized, details of the cellular responses triggered by this morphogen are still poorly defined.

Regulation of bFGF gene expression and subcellular distribution of bFGF protein in adrenal medullary cells. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1994 Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a potent mitogenic/neurotrophic factor, controls the development and plasticity of many types of neural cells. In adrenal chromaffin cells, the appearance of bFGF protein coincided with the establishment of functional innervation, suggesting induction by trans-synaptic signals. In cultured bovine adrenal medullary

Direct comparison of distinct naive pluripotent states in human embryonic stem cells [PDF]
, 2017 Until recently, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were shown to exist in a state of primed pluripotency, while mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) display a naive or primed pluripotent state.
