Fibroblast growth factor 10 attenuates advanced liver fibrosis through hepatocyte fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 signalling [PDF]
Background Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and advanced fibrotic stages are significant contributors to cirrhosis and liver‐related mortality, yet no therapies directly target fibrosis in the later stages of the disease ...

Fibroblast growth factor/fibroblast growth factor receptor system in angiogenesis [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of heparin-binding growth factors. FGFs exert their pro-angiogenic activity by interacting with various endothelial cell surface receptors, including tyrosine kinase receptors, heparan-sulfate proteoglycans, and integrins.

Research progress of fibroblast growth factor homologous factor 1 in the pathogenesis of arrhythmia [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factor homologous factor 1 (FHF1) is an intracellular signaling protein, a non-specific fibroblast growth factor that does not bind to fibroblast growth factor receptors. FHF1 combines with the C-terminus of cardiac voltage-gated sodium

Overexpression of fibroblast growth factor 13 ameliorates amyloid-β-induced neuronal damage
Previous studies have shown that fibroblast growth factor 13 is downregulated in the brain of both Alzheimer’s disease mouse models and patients, and that it plays a vital role in the learning and memory.

Conversion of a Paracrine Fibroblast Growth Factor into an Endocrine Fibroblast Growth Factor [PDF]
FGFs 19, 21, and 23 are hormones that regulate in a Klotho co-receptor-dependent fashion major metabolic processes such as glucose and lipid metabolism (FGF21) and phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis (FGF23). The role of heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan in the formation of the cell surface signaling complex of endocrine FGFs has remained unclear. Here
