Fibroblast growth factor 2 control of vascular tone [PDF]
Vascular tone control is essential in blood pressure regulation, shock, ischemia-reperfusion, inflammation, vessel injury/repair, wound healing, temperature regulation, digestion, exercise physiology, and metabolism. Here we show that a well-known growth factor, FGF2, long thought to be involved in many developmental and homeostatic processes ...

Molecular cloning and expression of novel fibroblast growth factor-2 conjugated with immunodominant domains of pseudomonas exotoxin [PDF]
Angiogenesis is very important in cancer growth and metastasis. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) as one of the most important angiogenesis factors is an attractive target for cancer vaccine.

Role of Lactoferrinin Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Gingival Wounds [PDF]
Background: Lactoferrin possesses the ability to promote migration and proliferation of fibroblasts which represents one potential reason for the use of lactoferrin to accelerate the healing process in gingival wounds.

TP53-inducible Glycolysis and Apoptosis Regulator (TIGAR) Metabolically Reprograms Carcinoma and Stromal Cells in Breast Cancer. [PDF]
A subgroup of breast cancers has several metabolic compartments. The mechanisms by which metabolic compartmentalization develop in tumors are poorly characterized. TP53 inducible glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) is a bisphosphatase that reduces

Fibroblast growth factor 2 orchestrates angiogenic networking in non-GIST STS patients
Background Non-gastrointestinal stromal tumor soft-tissue sarcomas (non-GIST STSs) constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors with poor prognosis. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1), in close interplay with

Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Induces Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor Expression in Osteoblasts* [PDF]
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a multifunctional growth factor with a major role in tissue morphogenesis and repair. It stimulates the proliferation of cells of the osteoblast and osteoclast lineages. Mitogenic factors playing a role in fracture repair may act by regulating HGF/SF expression or activity in bone-forming cells.

Inhibition of the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 suppresses angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Endothelial cell survival is indispensable to maintain endothelial integrity and initiate new vessel formation. We investigated the role of SHP-2 in endothelial cell survival and angiogenesis in vitro as well as in vivo.

Effects of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 on Longitudinal Bone Growth* [PDF]
In vivo, fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) inhibits longitudinal bone growth. Similarly, activating FGF receptor 3 mutations impair growth in achondroplasia and thanatophoric dysplasia. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we chose a fetal rat metatarsal organ culture system that would maintain growth plate histological architecture.
