Role of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 in Pancreatic Cancer: Potential Target for New Therapeutic Approach? [PDF]

, 2015
Fibroblast growth factors and their receptors play a key role in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) is involved in carcinogenesis and its altered expression has been shown in several tumors ...

Mouse genetics identifies unique and overlapping functions of fibroblast growth factor receptors in keratinocytes [PDF]

, 2020
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are key regulators of tissue development, homeostasis and repair, and abnormal FGF signalling is associated with various human diseases.

Fibroblast growth factors [PDF]

Current Biology, 2003
What are they? Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of small (20–30kDa) intercellular signalling proteins which are frequently found to be glycosylated. The first draft of the human genome identified 29 potential FGF genes, and so far transcripts have been identified for 23 of them.

Porcine bone scaffolds adsorb growth factors secreted by MSCs and improve bone tissue repair [PDF]

, 2017
An ideal tissue-engineered bone graft should have both excellent pro-osteogenesis and pro-angiogenesis properties to rapidly realize the bone regeneration in vivo . To meet this goal, in this work a porcine bone scaffold was successfully used as a Trojan

Trophic and neurotrophic factors in human pituitary adenomas (Review) [PDF]

, 2017
The pituitary gland is an organ that functionally connects the hypothalamus with the peripheral organs. The pituitary gland is an important regulator of body homeostasis during development, stress, and other processes.

Fibroblast growth factors. [PDF]

Genome biology, 2001
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) make up a large family of polypeptide growth factors that are found in organisms ranging from nematodes to humans. In vertebrates, the 22 members of the FGF family range in molecular mass from 17 to 34 kDa and share 13-71% amino acid identity.

BDNF/TrkB axis activation promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Neurotrophins (NT) belongs to a family of growth factors which promotes neurons survival and differentiation. Increasing evidence show that NT and their receptor are expressed in lung tissues suggesting a possible role in lung health and ...

In situ formation of poly(vinyl alcohol)–heparin hydrogels for mild encapsulation and prolonged release of basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor

Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2016
Heparin-based hydrogels are attractive for controlled growth factor delivery, due to the native ability of heparin to bind and stabilize growth factors.

Separation of cell survival, growth, migration, and mesenchymal transdifferentiation effects of fibroblast secretome on tumor cells of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Tumor Biology, 2017
Fibroblasts play a central role in tumor invasion, recurrence, and metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of tumor cell self-produced factors and paracrine fibroblast–secreted factors ...

Fibroblast Growth Factors: Biology, Function, and Application for Tissue Regeneration [PDF]

Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2010
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) that signal through FGF receptors (FGFRs) regulate a broad spectrum of biological functions, including cellular proliferation, survival, migration, and differentiation.
