Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 is a peptide growth factor that promotes the generation, differentiation, and survival of neurons and glial cells. In the CNS, astroglial cells are coupled in a region-specific manner by gap junctions consisting of connexin 43 (cx43). In the present study we have inv

Lens regeneration in vivo is restricted to some urodeles only. After removal of the lens, this remarkable event is initiated from the dorsal iris. The pigmented epithelial cells from the dorsal iris dedifferentiate and subsequently transdifferentiate to form the regenerating lens. This property of t
## Abstract Fibroblast growth factorβ2 and parathyroid hormone are strong modulators of the maturation process of chondrocytes during endochondral ossification. To clarify whether and how these agents may exert stageβspecific effects during this process, we analyzed the responsiveness and phenotypi
