FGF basic is a member of the FGF family, which includes at least 23 related mitogenic proteins sharing 35–60% amino acid conservation. Unlike most other FGFs, FGF acidic and FGF basic lack ...

N.C.): "Members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family are powerful regulators of cell growth and differentiation that stimulate cells by activating specific receptor, tyrosine kinases. In this ...

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) is an atypical member of the FGF family. It act as an endocrine hormone which affects energy balance. In humans FGF-21 was correlated with obesity. The ...

“Researching the FGF family made clear the need for international collaboration, knowledge exchange and mentorship,” says Li. “A platform such as WYSS can help young scientists set out their ...

Specifically we have been interested in characterizing the role of Wnt and Fgf family members in normal mammary gland development and stem cell self-renewal, and the properties of tumor initiating ...

FGF-8 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family, originally identified as essential for the androgen-dependent growth of mouse mammary carcinoma cells. In mice, alternative splicing of ...
