Axonal growth mediated by cell adhesion molecules requires activation of fibroblast growth factor receptors.
During nervous system development neurons extend axons which navigate along precise pathways to innervate specific target tissues, often over long distances. The distal tip of the axon, the growth cone, plays a major role in determining the direction and distance of axonal outgrowth. A variety of outgrowth-promoting or -inhibitory soluble and matrixor cell-associated molecules encountered by th...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor-1 vs. Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 in Ischemic Skin Flap Survival in a Rat Animal Model
BACKGROUND One of the main challenges in skin flap surgery is tissue ischemia and following necrosis. The present study compares the effects of fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 on increasing cutaneous vasculature, improving ischemia, and preventing distal necrosis in ischemic skin flaps in rat model. METHODS Thirty rats were allocated into 3 groups (n=10) and 2×8 cm dorsal rando...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factors, their receptors and signaling.
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are small polypeptide growth factors, all of whom share in common certain structural characteristics, and most of whom bind heparin avidly. Many FGFs contain signal peptides for secretion and are secreted into the extracellular environment, where they can bind to the heparan-like glycosaminoglycans (HLGAGs) of the extracellular matrix (ECM). From this reservoir,...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor
In an effort to elucidate control mechanisms for developmentally programmed cell death, conditions were sought which rescue the cells destined to die. Three areas of mesodermal cell death in the chick wing were examined, the posterior necrotic zone (PNZ) , the opaque patch (OP) and apical mesoderm. The PNZ and OP are areas of normally programmed cell death whereas the apical mesoderm undergoes ...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factors
What are they? Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of small (20–30 kDa) intercellular signalling proteins which are frequently found to be glycosylated. The first draft of the human genome identified 29 potential FGF genes, and so far transcripts have been identified for 23 of them. Two FGFs have been identified in Caenorhabditis elegans (Let-756 and Egl-17) while Drosophila appears o...
