Fibroblast growth factor –mediated crosstalk in cancer etiology and treatment
It is becoming increasingly evident that multiple cell types within the tumor work together to drive tumour progression and impact on both the response to therapy and the dissemination of tumour cells throughout the body. Fibroblast growth factor signalling (FGF) is perturbed in a number of tumors, serving to drive tumor cell proliferation and migration, but also has a central role in orchestrating the plethora of cells that comprise the tumor microenvironment. This review focuses on how this family of signalling molecules can influence the interactions between tumor cells and their surrounding environment. Unraveling the ...

Identification of target genes downstream of semaphorin6A/PlexinA2 signaling in zebrafish
Conclusions: Microarray analysis has generated a resource of target genes downstream of Sema6A/PlxnA2 signaling, which can be further investigated to elucidate the downstream effects of this well‐studied neuronal and vascular guidance signaling pathway.

Tissue growth pressure drives early blood flow in the chicken yolk sac
Conclusions ‐ This study shows that tissue growth pressure can drive early blood flow, and suggests that the mechanical environment, beyond hemodynamics, can contribute to vascular morphogenesis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Developmental Dynamics)

Cadherin interplay during neural crest segregation from the non ‐neural ectoderm and neural tube in the early chick embryo
Conclusions: Our results indicate that partition of the neuroectoderm is mediated by cadherin interplays and ascribe a key role to Cadherin‐6B in the specification and delamination of the NC population. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Developmental Dynamics)

Regulation of skeletal muscle stem cells by fibroblast growth factors
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are essential for self ‐renewal of skeletal muscle stem cells (satellite cells) and required for maintenance and repair of skeletal muscle. Satellite cells express high levels of FGF receptors 1 and 4, low levels of FGF receptor 3, and little or no detectable FGF receptor 2. Of the multiple FGFs that influence satellite cell function in culture, FGF2 and FGF6 are the only members that regulate satellite cell functionin vivo by activating ERK MAPK, p38 α/β MAPKs, PI3 kinase, PLCγ and STATs. Regulation of FGF signaling is complex in satellite cells, requiring Syndecan‐4, a heparan sulf...
