(NASDAQ: ZLAB) have dosed the first patient in the Phase 3 FIGHT pivotal trial of bemarituzumab (FPA144), an isoform-selective
FGF receptor 2b (FGFR2b) antibody, in combination with chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated, advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer, the companies said.
The association between circulating
FGF 21 and lipid profile has been previously reported.
HAND2 inhibits multiple members of the fibroblast growth factor (
FGF) family and eventually suppresses LE cell proliferation with downregulation of E2-regulated genes, such as mucin 1 (Muc 1) (6).
Regulators of reepithelialization also include hepatocyte growth factor (HGF),
FGFs, and epidermal growth factors (EGFs) released from injured tissues, which can stimulate receptor tyrosine kinases [82].
SDC4 binds to fibroblast growth factors (
FGF) and brings them to the
FGF receptors on the cell surface.
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a member of the
FGF family, was initially identified by Nobuyuki Itoh's group [1], and its bioactivity was first discovered as a potential regulator of glucose uptake in mouse and human adipocytes [2].
Effect of Basic
FGF on ASCs' Proliferation Activity and Clonogenic Potential.
The
FGF protein family controls a wide range of biological functions.
Fibroblast growth factor (
FGFs) are signaling proteins of ~150-300 amino acids with diverse biological functions mainly related to development and metabolism.
There are four FGFR genes, FGFR-1-4, and, within these, alternative splicing creates receptor isoforms with distinct specificities for particular
FGFs. In normal CNS, astrocytes are active and carry out various functions.

FGFs and BMPs in chick mandibular morphogenesis.
