The effects of growth factors on multicellular spheroids formed by chick embryonic retinal cells [PDF]
, 1997 Retinal cells from chick embryos aged 7.5 days of gestation were cultured for two months in a non-adherent suspension culture dish to study the effects of growth factors and co-culture with retinal pigment epithelial cells on their differentiation ...

Tumor Necrosis Factor - Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) promotes angiogenesis and ischemia- induced neovascularization via NADPH Oxidase 4 (NOX4) and Nitric Oxide - dependent mechanisms [PDF]
, 2015 Background — Tumor necrosis factor–related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has the ability to inhibit angiogenesis by inducing endothelial cell death, as well as being able to promote pro- angiogenic activity in vitro.

Fibroblast growth factor 10-fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b mediated signaling is not required for adult glandular stomach homeostasis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The signaling pathways that are essential for gastric organogenesis have been studied in some detail; however, those that regulate the maintenance of the gastric epithelium during adult homeostasis remain unclear.

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 ...

Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Mimetics for Treating Atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2017 Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is an atypical member of the FGF family. Acting in an endocrine fashion, it increases glucose uptake, modulates lipid metabolism, and sensitizes insulin response in metabolically active organs, including the liver and ...

Fibroblast growth factor signaling in metabolic regulation
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2016 The prevalence of obesity is a growing health problem. Obesity is strongly associated with several comorbidities, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, certain cancers, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, which all reduce life expectancy and ...

Fibroblast growth factors as tissue repair and regeneration therapeutics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Cell communication is central to the integration of cell function required for the development and homeostasis of multicellular animals. Proteins are an important currency of cell communication, acting locally (auto-, juxta-, or paracrine) or ...

Growth factors and experimental arterial grafts [PDF]
, 2016 Background: The production of growth factors from several experimental arterial conduits was determined. Methods: We implanted 105 experimental arterial grafts that were 1 cm long in the abdominal aorta of Lewis rats (average weight, 250 g).

Functions of fibroblast growth factors and their receptors [PDF]
Current Biology, 1995 Fibroblast growth factors were first characterized twenty years ago as mitogens of cultured fibroblasts. Despite a wealth of data from experiments in vitro, insights have begun to emerge only recently on the normal function of these growth factors in mice and humans, as a result of studies of natural and experimental mutations in the factors and their ...
