Wilcox Overexpression of C-natriuretic peptide (CNP) in cartilage partially rescues achondroplasia in the mouse. Here, we studied the interaction of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and CNP...

... transport assays and confocal microscopy, we now show that fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), a pro-angiogenic mediator exported from mammalian cells by an unconventional secretory pathway, does not need to be unfolded in order to be released into the extracellular space. These findings suggest...

... stimulation of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs). Current evidence indicates that Cbl is a key protein that interacts directly with Spry2 following activation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). It appears to be the ability of Cbl to interact as an E3 ubiquitin ligase on specific target proteins...

.... The expression of DIA/LIF in vitro is both developmentally programmed and controlled by the action of other growth factors, the most notable of which are members of the fibroblast growth factor family expressed by the stem cells themselves. This indicates that differentiation and proliferation in early...
