**The cover picture shows** a comparison of the effect of increasing concentrations of heparin and two synthetic heparin‐like hexasaccharides, with specifically designed different sulfation patterns, on the mitogenic activity of acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF‐1). These two hexasaccharides, mem

## Abstract Unregulated FGF signaling produced by activating FGFR3 mutations causes several forms of dwarfism‐associated chondrodysplasias in humans and mice. FGF signaling inhibits chondrocyte proliferation by activating multiple signal transduction pathways that all contribute to chondrocyte grow
Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is a member of secreted polypeptide families and involved in many important biological processes, including implantation and morphogenesis during embryogenesis and adult life. Recently, Fgf9-knockout mice exhibited male-to-female sex reversal, demonstrating a novel
## Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF‐2) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play key roles in vascular remodeling. Because FGF‐2 controls a number of proteolytic activities in various cell types, we tested its effect on vascular endothelial cell expression of MMP‐3 (stromelysin‐1), a br
## Abstract Transfection of chicken chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs) with a chimeric secreted version of fibroblast growth factor‐1 (__sp‐FGF‐1__) gene construct leads to a significant increase in vascularization. Though FGF‐stimulated angiogenesis has been extensively studied, the molecular mechan
