The signaling component of the mammalian Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) family is
comprised of eighteen secreted proteins that interact with four signaling tyrosine kinase FGF …

Cutaneous tissue repair aims at restoring the barrier function of the skin. To achieve this,
defects need to be replaced by granulation tissue to form new connective tissue, and …

Although members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family and their receptors have well-
established roles in embryogenesis, their contributions to adult physiology remain relatively …

An essential feature of a healed wound is the restoration of an intact epidermal barrier
through wound epithelialization, also known as re-epithelialization. The directed migration of …

Significance: The re-epithelialization of wounded skin requires the rapid and coordinated
migration of keratinocytes (KC) into the wound bed. Almost immediately after wounding …

Target-derived cues promote local differentiation of axons into nerve terminals at sites of
synaptic contact. Using clustering of synaptic vesicles in cultured neurons as an assay, we …

Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a paracrine-acting, epithelial mitogen produced by cells
of mesenchymal origin. It is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, and acts …

In this article, we provide the results of experimental studies demonstrating that corneal
avascularity is an active process involving the production of anti-angiogenic factors, which …

To understand the role Fgf signalling in skin and hair follicle development, we analysed the
phenotype of mice deficient for Fgfr2-IIIb and its main ligand Fgf10. These studies showed …

We quantified the mRNA expression of all 22 fibroblast growth factor family members (FGF)
and their four receptors (FGFR) in adult mouse full-thickness skin at various stages of the …
