## Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) protein elastin plays an essential role in the cardiovascular system by imparting elasticity to blood vessel wall. In this study, we examined the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on the expression of elastin in aortic smooth muscle cells (SM
## Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a heparinbinding protein, expressing potent mitogenic and angiogenic properties. Elevated levels of bFGF have been identified in human gliomas and glioma cell lines, suggesting that bFGF expression is involved in the aberrant growth patterns asso
Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), the major cellular constituent of an artery, synthesize the bulk of fibrillar collagens, including type V/XI, which regulates heterotypic collagen fibril assembly. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a heparin-binding polypeptide growth factor that has been
