Proteus syndrome is a congenital hamartomatous disorder characterized by partial overgrowth involving all germ layers. A somatic mutation model has been proposed since familial cases are extremely rare. We report on a 3-year-old girl with typical manifestations of Proteus syndrome, including local,
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 effects proliferation and differentiation of numerous cell types by binding to insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and attenuating their activity or by directly affecting cells in an IGFindependent manner. Consequently, IGFBPs produced by specific c
## Abstract While extracellular acidification within solid tumors is well‐documented, how reduced pH impacts regulation of insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) has not been studied extensively. Because IGF‐I receptor binding is affected by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), we examined how pH impacted
