1. Growth factor pathways in human cancer : functional and therapeutic implications
Abstract : The multi-step development of tumors involves numerous changes at genomic level such as oncogene activation, loss of function of tumor suppressor genes and translocations resulting in fusion genes that encodes for chimeric proteins with tumorigenic functions etc. However, in the selection leading to cancer in somatic tissues it is likely that the cancer cells make use of the normal extracellular signaling for proliferation and/or anti-apoptosis to create growth advantage over the normal cells.

2. Basic fibroblast growth factor for stimulation of bone formation in osteoinductive and conductive implants
Abstract : Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) is one of the endogenous factors found in bone matrix. bFGF is a mitogen for many cell types, including osteoblasts and chondrocytes. It can stimulate angiogenesis and osteoblast gene expression. READ MORE

3. Aspects of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 in Mild to Moderate Renal Dysfunction
Abstract : Disturbances in mineral metabolism contribute to vascular calcification and mortality risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Serum levels of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)23, a bone derived, phosphaturic peptide, are associated with cardiovascular mortality in CKD. READ MORE

4. Mechanisms of platelet-mediated fibroblast proliferation
Abstract : Wound healing is a multicomponent event that involves a network of molecular and cellular crosstalk between cells, including leukocytes, platelets and fibroblasts. Despite increased knowledge over the past decades regarding the regulation of cell and tissue growth, the inter- and intracellular systems that control wound healing are incompletely understood.

5. The role of VEGF family in angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis
Abstract : Tumor growth is dependent on angiogenesis, and cells in tumor tissues produce various angiogenic factors to induce neovascularization. Among tumor-derived angiogenic factors, members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family are most frequently and highly expressed in various solid tumors. READ MORE
