We have previously purified from human placenta a basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-like molecule which stimulates the production of plasminogen activator (PA) and collagenase, induces DNA synthesis, produces an increase in motility in cultured bovine capillary endothelial (BCE) cells, and induce
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The authors recently reported that nuclear accumulation of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) demonstrated a significant correlation with recurrence of pituitary adenomas. The current study sought to determine whether nuclear bFGF accumulation was a predictor of surviv
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is found in a variety of cells and tissues. We have previously shown that bFGF is a transforming growth factor, but only when fused to a signal peptide (sp-bFGF). Cells expressing the native bFGF are tumorigenic in nude mice only, where the tumors form at a low
