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.

Coupling chemotaxis and growth poromechanics for the modelling of feather primordia patterning [PDF]
Mathematics, year 2022, volume 10, paper 4096, 2022 We propose a new mathematical model for the interaction of skin cell populations with fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein, occurring within deformable porous media. The equations for feather primordia pattering are based on the work by K.J. Painter et al. [J. Theoret. Biol., 437 (2018) 225--238].

The Regenerative Potential of bFGF in Dental Pulp Repair and Regeneration
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Regenerative endodontic therapy intends to induce the host’s natural wound-healing process, which can restore the vitality, immunity, and sensitivity of the inflammatory or necrotic pulp tissue destroyed by infection or trauma.

Regulation of Hepatic Stellate Cells and Fibrogenesis by Fibroblast Growth Factors. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2016 Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of growth factors critically involved in developmental, physiological, and pathological processes, including embryogenesis, angiogenesis, wound healing, and endocrine functions. In the liver, several FGFs are

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.

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 ...
