Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) as a novel metabolic target [PDF]
Objective: Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a serine protease belonging to a S9B prolyl oligopeptidase subfamily. This enzyme has been implicated in cancer development and recently reported to regulate degradation of FGF21, a potent metabolic ...

Radioligands Targeting Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP). [PDF]
Targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) has attracted significant attention in nuclear medicine. Since these cells are present in most cancerous tissues and FAP is rarely expressed in healthy tissues, anti-FAP tracers have a potential as pan-tumor agents.

Novel Small Molecule-Derived, Highly Selective Substrates for Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP). [PDF]
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a proline-selective serine protease. It is hardly expressed in healthy adult tissue but upregulated in tissue remodeling sites associated with several diseases including epithelial cancer types, atherosclerosis, arthritis and fibrosis.

The effect of tranilast on fibroblast activation protein α (FAP-α) expression in normal and keloid fibroblasts in vitro [PDF]
Introduction . Tranilast (N-(3’,4’-demethoxycinnamoyl)-anthranilic acid) is an anti-allergic drug. Its mechanism of action is based on the inhibition of antigen-induced release of chemical mediators from mast cells and basophils.

Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) specific PET for advanced target volume delineation in glioblastoma [PDF]
Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP)-specific Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has shown promising results in various cancers. This pilot study compares FAP-specific PET to MRI for treatment planning in 13 Glioblastoma patients. The resulting incongruent volumes could provide additional information for radiotherapy or biopsy planning.

Endothelial, pericyte and tumor cell expression in glioblastoma identifies fibroblast activation protein (FAP) as an excellent target for immunotherapy [PDF]
Objectives Targeted immunotherapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T cells are emerging as attractive treatment options for glioblastoma, but rely on identification of a suitable tumor antigen. We validated a new target antigen for glioblastoma,
