Presence and localization of a 30-kDa basic fibroblast growth factor-like protein in rodent testes [PDF]
We have used a recently characterized rabbit antiserum against basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), which recognizes various forms of bFGF, to examine the presence and localization of bFGF in the testes of adult rats and mice and the 5-day-old rat.

Fibroblast mediated dynamics in diffusively uncoupled myocytes -- a simulation study using 2-cell motifs [PDF]
In healthy hearts myocytes are typically coupled to nearest neighbours through gap junctions. Under pathological conditions such as fibrosis, or in scar tissue, or across ablation lines myocytes can uncouple from their neighbours. Electrical conduction may still occur via fibroblasts that not only couple proximal myocytes but can also couple otherwise ...

Extinction of gene expression in somatic cell hybrids. a reflection of important regulatory mechanisms? [PDF]
Extinction in somatic cell hybrids is a multifactorial process that leads to loss of cell-type-specific gene expression. The underlying mechanisms are thought to mirror, at least in part, the repertoire of regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian cell

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Activation in Alport Syndrome Varies Between Genotype and Cell Type
Alport syndrome is a hereditary progressive chronic kidney disease caused by mutations in type IV collagen genes COL4A3/4/5. X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) is caused by mutations in the COL4A5 gene and is the most common form of Alport syndrome.

A redox-responsive hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel for chronic wound management [PDF]
Polymer-based hydrogels have been widely applied for chronic wound therapeutics, due to their well-acclaimed wound exudate management capability. At the same time, there is still an unmet clinical need for simple wound diagnostic tools to assist clinical decision-making at the point of care and deliver on the vision of patient-personalised wound ...

Identification and characterization of an inhibitory fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) molecule, up-regulated in an Apert Syndrome mouse model [PDF]
AS (Apert syndrome) is a congenital disease composed of skeletal, visceral and neural abnormalities, caused by dominant-acting mutations in FGFR2 [FGF (fibroblast growth factor) receptor 2].
