Oncogenic PIK3CA corrupts growth factor signaling specificity. [PDF]
Technical limitations have prevented understanding of how growth factor signals are encoded in distinct activity patterns of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway, and how this is altered by oncogenic pathway mutations. We introduce a kinetic,

Yap1-2 Isoform Is the Primary Mediator in TGF-β1 Induced EMT in Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most aggressive human malignancy and intrinsically resistant to conventional therapies. YAP1, as a key downstream effector of the Hippo pathway, plays an important role in tumorigenesis including PDAC ...

FGF1 alleviates LPS-induced acute lung injury via suppression of inflammation and oxidative stress
Background Acute lung injury (ALI) and its severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are devastating clinical disorders with high mortality, and for which more effective therapies are urgently needed.

FGF Signaling Pathway: A Key Regulator of Stem Cell Pluripotency
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) isolated in vitro from embryonic stem cells (ESCs), induced PSC (iPSC) and also post-implantation epiblast-derived stem cells (EpiSCs) are known for their two unique characteristics: the ability to give rise to all somatic ...

Growth and Growth Factors [PDF]
The majority of articles selected for this chapter refer to novel pathophysiological mechanisms that have recently been elucidated. Levels of expression and methylation as well as specific polymorphisms in the IGF2 gene were shown to play a key role not only in fetal growth but also in early postnatal weight gain.

Growth, growth factors and diabetes [PDF]
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and other chronic diseases in children are well known to adversely affect linear growth and pubertal development. In the years immediately following the introduction of insulin therapy, short stature was consistently reported in children with T1DM.
