Biological implications of a discrete mathematical model for collagen deposition and alignment in dermal wound repair [PDF]
, 2000 We deveiop a novel mathematical model for collagen deposition and alignment during dermal wound healing. We focus on the interactions between fibroblasts, modelled as discrete entities, and a continuous extracellular matrix composed of collagen and a ...

Suppression of FGF5 and FGF18 Expression by Cholesterol-Modified siRNAs Promotes Hair Growth in Mice
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 FGF5 and FGF18 are key factors in the regulation of the hair follicle cycle. FGF5 is overexpressed during the late anagen phase and serves as a crucial regulatory factor that promotes the anagen-to-catagen transition in the hair follicle cycle.

Clues from Crouzon: Insights into the potential role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of myelinated retinal nerve fibers. [PDF]
, 2016 PurposeWe present a case of bilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF) in an individual with Crouzon syndrome, an inherited form of craniosynostosis caused by overactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2.

Extinction of gene expression in somatic cell hybrids. a reflection of important regulatory mechanisms? [PDF]
, 1993 Extinction in somatic cell hybrids is a multifactorial process that leads to loss of cell-type-specific gene expression. The underlying mechanisms are thought to mirror, at least in part, the repertoire of regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian cell

The effect of endurance resistance exercise combined with Lcitrulline malate supplement on FGF, VEGF, and fatigue among young bodybuilders [PDF]
فصلنامه ابن سینا, 2019 Background: Citrulline malate is a non-essential alpha-amino acid supplement resulting from arginine oxidation and may cause changes in the immunity, cardiovascular, and angiogenic mechanisms. It also reduces the rating of fatigue perception. The purpose
