Master regulators of FGFR2 signalling and breast cancer risk. [PDF]
, 2013 The fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) locus has been consistently identified as a breast cancer risk locus in independent genome-wide association studies. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying FGFR2-mediated risk are still unknown. Using

Fibroblast growth factor 2 isoforms and cardiac hypertrophy [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2004 Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), a multifunctional polypeptide that affects cell growth and differentiation and becomes upregulated by stress, is expressed as AUG-initiated 18 kDa FGF-2 or CUG-initiated 21-34 kDa (hi-FGF-2) isoforms. Animal models have provided strong evidence that FGF-2 is essential for the manifestation of overload- and ...

Fibroblast growth factor-2, but not the adipose tissue-derived stromal cells secretome, inhibits TGF-beta 1-induced differentiation of human cardiac fibroblasts into myofibroblasts [PDF]
, 2018 Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is a potent inducer of fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation and contributes to the pro-fibrotic microenvironment during cardiac remodeling.

Action potential propagation and block in a model of atrial tissue with myocyte-fibroblast coupling [PDF]
Mathematical Medicine and Biology: A Journal of the IMA 38(1),
106-131 (2021), 2020 The electrical coupling between myocytes and fibroblasts and the spacial distribution of fibroblasts within myocardial tissues are significant factors in triggering and sustaining cardiac arrhythmias but their roles are poorly understood. This article describes both direct numerical simulations and an asymptotic theory of propagation and block of ...
