Role of FGF-18 in Bone Regeneration
Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2023 In tissue engineering, three key components are cells, biological/mechanical cues, and scaffolds. Biological cues are normally proteins such as growth factors and their derivatives, bioactive molecules, and the regulators of a gene.

Conversion of a Paracrine Fibroblast Growth Factor into an Endocrine Fibroblast Growth Factor [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012 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

Serum intact fibroblast growth factor 23 in healthy paediatric population
Open Medicine, 2021 It is believed that fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) can become an early biomarker of chronic kidney disease progression. Data on FGF23 age dependency are inconsistent.

Fibroblast growth factor/fibroblast growth factor receptor system in angiogenesis [PDF]
Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2005 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.
