Prenatal overexpression of platelet‐derived growth factor receptor A results in central nervous system hypomyelination [PDF]
Background Platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling, through the ligand PDGF‐A and its receptor PDGFRA, is important for the growth and maintenance of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the central nervous system (CNS). PDGFRA signaling is

Essential growth factor receptors for fibroblast homeostasis and activation: Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR), Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFR), and Transforming Growth Factor β Receptor (TGFβR) [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Fibroblasts are cells of mesenchymal origin that are found throughout the body. While these cells have several functions, their integral roles include maintaining tissue architecture through the production of key extracellular matrix components, and ...

MicroRNA 219-5p inhibits alveolarization by reducing platelet derived growth factor receptor-alpha [PDF]
Background MicroRNA (miR) are small conserved RNA that regulate gene expression post-transcription. Previous genome-wide analysis studies in preterm infants indicate that pathways of miR 219-5p are important in infants with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia ...
