Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3 Mutations in Bladder Cancer: A Marker for Early-Stage Diagnosis
Background: Bladder cancer (BC) ranks as the tenth most common cancer globally, with a high recurrence rate. It is primarily caused by abnormalities in the epithelial layer lining the bladder and is classified from non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

Down-regulation of FGFR3 expression aggravates the damage of articular chondrocyte superficial zone cells in mice [PDF]
Objective To investigate the effect of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) on articular cartilage superficial zone cells (SPZCs). Methods C57 mice were randomly divided into two groups: a sham operated group (sham group) and a group of surgically

Analysis of Thisbe and Pyramus functional domains reveals evidence for cleavage of Drosophila FGFs [PDF]
Background: As important regulators of developmental and adult processes in metazoans, Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) proteins are potent signaling molecules whose activities must be tightly regulated.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Hepatocyte growth factor, a key tumor-promoting factor in the tumor microenvironment [PDF]
The tumor microenvironment plays a key role in tumor development and progression. Stromal cells secrete growth factors, cytokines and extracellular matrix proteins which promote growth, survival and metastatic spread of cancer cells.

PICALM::MLLT10 translocated leukemia
This comprehensive review of PICALM::MLLT10 translocated acute leukemia provides an in‐depth review of the structure and function of CALM, AF10, and the fusion oncoprotein (1). The multifaceted molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, including nucleocytoplasmic shuttling (2), epigenetic modifications (3), and disruption of endocytosis (4), are then ...

Probing the Effects of the FGFR-Inhibitor Derazantinib on Vascular Development in Zebrafish Embryos
Angiogenesis is a fundamental developmental process and a hallmark of cancer progression. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) are targets for cancer therapy which may include their action as anti-angiogenic agents.

Genetically confirmed thanatophoric dysplasia with fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 mutation
Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD), the most common lethal skeletal dysplasia, is a de novo genetic disease caused by a mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene. "Thanatophoric" means "dead bearing" in Greek. Because FGFR3 is the main modulator of bone maturation, typical features of TD include short extremities, curved femur, clover ...
