Astrocytes exhibit significant changes in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) gene expression during malignant progression. These changes include induction of FGFR1 and concomitant loss of FGFR2 expression. The induction of FGFR1 is believed to endow malignant astrocytes with a selective growth
## Abstract Fibroblast growth factorβ9 (FGF9) is expressed in the CNS and is reported to be a mitogen for glial cells, to promote neuronal survival, and to retard oligodendrocyte differentiation. Here we examined the effects of FGF9 on the differentiation, survival, and proliferation of adult neura
Using a radioimmunoassay for bovine pituitary fibroblast growth factor (FGF), we have established the presence of the immunoreactive mitogen in extracts of a transplantable mouse chondrosarcoma. Both neutral and acidic extracts of the tumor contain an immunoreactive FGF (ir-FGF) that cross-rearts in
