Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a multifunctional growth factor for neuroectodermal cells.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a heparin-binding mitogen for mesoderm-derived cells, also acts as a mitogen, differentiation inducing and maintenance factor for many neuroectodermal cells including glial cells, neurons, paraneurons, and their tumor counterparts. The molecule is expressed in several types of neuroectodermal cells in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, bFGF occurs in many neu...

متن کاملEffect of basic fibroblast growth factor-saporin (bFGF-SAP) conjugate on bovine choriocapillary endothelial cells.
We evaluated the effect of a basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and saporin conjugate (bFGF-SAP) on proliferation, migration and tubule formation in bovine choriocapillary endothelial cells (BCECs). Cell proliferation and MTS assays were done with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 nM bFGF-SAP, and an equimolar concentration of bFGF and saporin. TUNEL assay was performed to confirm apoptosis. Cells w...
متن کاملBinding of the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by soluble components of human umbilical cord.
Pre-eclampsia, the most common pregnancy associated syndrome, is connected with remodelling of extracellular matrix of the umbilical cord tissues. Since the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is known to be a stimulator of collagen and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, one may expect that it plays an important role in such a remodelling. Studies performed on the umbilical cords of 10 control and 10 p...
متن کاملA Heparin-Mimicking Polymer Conjugate Stabilizes Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF)
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a protein that plays a crucial role in diverse cellular functions, from wound healing to bone regeneration. However, a major obstacle to the widespread application of bFGF is its inherent instability during storage and delivery. Here, we describe the stabilization of bFGF by covalent conjugation with a heparin-mimicking polymer, a copolymer consisting of...
