Expression and localization of fibroblast growth factors and fibroblast growth factor receptors in the developing rat kidney [PDF]
Kidney International, 1999 Expression and localization of fibroblast growth factors and fibroblast growth factor receptors in the developing rat kidney.The permanent kidney, or metanephros, develops through a complex series of reciprocal inductive events and involves branching morphogenesis, tubulogenesis, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are

Functions of fibroblast growth factors and their receptors [PDF]
Current Biology, 1995 Fibroblast growth factors were first characterized twenty years ago as mitogens of cultured fibroblasts. Despite a wealth of data from experiments in vitro, insights have begun to emerge only recently on the normal function of these growth factors in mice and humans, as a result of studies of natural and experimental mutations in the factors and their ...

Fibroblast growth factor/fibroblast growth factor receptor system in angiogenesis [PDF]
Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2005 Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of heparin-binding growth factors. FGFs exert their pro-angiogenic activity by interacting with various endothelial cell surface receptors, including tyrosine kinase receptors, heparan-sulfate proteoglycans, and integrins.

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Functions in Glioblastoma [PDF]
Cells, 2019 Glioblastoma is the most lethal brain cancer in adults, with no known cure. This cancer is characterized by a pronounced genetic heterogeneity, but aberrant activation of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling is among the most frequent molecular alterations in glioblastoma.

Fibroblast growth factors, their receptors and signaling. [PDF]
Endocrine-related cancer, 2000 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. Many FGFs contain signal peptides for secretion and are secreted into the extracellular environment, where they can bind to the heparan-like glycosaminoglycans (HLGAGs) of the ...

Fibroblast growth factor receptors in breast cancer [PDF]
Tumor Biology, 2017 Fibroblast growth factor receptors are growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases, exerting their roles in embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis, and development of breast cancer. Recent genetic studies have identified some subtypes of fibroblast growth factor receptors as strong genetic loci associated with breast cancer.

Signal transduction by fibroblast growth factor receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioscience, 1999 The fibroblast growth factor family, with its prototype members acidic FGF (FGF-1) and basic FGF (FGF-2), binds to four related receptor tyrosine kinases, expressed on most types of cells in tissue culture. In many respects, the FGF receptors appear similar to other growth factor receptors. Thus, dimerization of receptor monomers upon ligand binding is

Roles of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors in Carcinogenesis [PDF]
Molecular Cancer Research, 2010 Abstract The fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) play essential roles both during development and in the adult. Upon ligand binding, FGFRs induce intracellular signaling networks that tightly regulate key biological processes, such as cell proliferation, survival, migration, and differentiation.

Receptor Specificity of the Fibroblast Growth Factor Family [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996 Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are essential molecules for mammalian development. The nine known FGF ligands and the four signaling FGF receptors (and their alternatively spliced variants) are expressed in specific spatial and temporal patterns.
