Fibroblast Growth Factors Stimulate Hair Growth through β-Catenin and Shh Expression in C57BL/6 Mice
Growth factors are involved in the regulation of hair morphogenesis and cycle hair growth. The present study sought to investigate the hair growth promoting activities of three approved growth factor drugs, fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF-10), acidic ...

Fibroblast growth factors, their receptors and signaling.
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are small polypeptide growth factors, all of whom share in common certain structural characteristics, and most of whom bind heparin avidly.

Branch Mode Selection during Early Lung Development [PDF]
Many organs of higher organisms, such as the vascular system, lung, kidney, pancreas, liver and glands, are heavily branched structures. The branching process during lung development has been studied in great detail and is remarkably stereotyped. The branched tree is generated by the sequential, non-random use of three geometrically simple modes of ...

A redox-responsive hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel for chronic wound management [PDF]
Polymer-based hydrogels have been widely applied for chronic wound therapeutics, due to their well-acclaimed wound exudate management capability. At the same time, there is still an unmet clinical need for simple wound diagnostic tools to assist clinical decision-making at the point of care and deliver on the vision of patient-personalised wound ...

The effect of endurance resistance exercise combined with Lcitrulline malate supplement on FGF, VEGF, and fatigue among young bodybuilders [PDF]
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

FGF gene family characterization provides insights into its adaptive evolution in Carnivora
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) encoded by the FGF gene family can regulate development and physiology in animals. However, their evolutionary characteristics in Carnivora are largely unknown. In this study, we identified 660 sequences of three types of
