Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
17852409 FGF-4 increases the rate at which MSC proliferate and has no significant effect on MSC pluripotency
17390055 Both myeov and hst (fgf4) are normally situated approximately 475-kb apart at band 11q13, a region that is frequently amplified and overexpressed in various tumours.
12163055 Differential effects of FGF4, EGF and TGFB1 on functional development of stromal layers (progenitor cell-outputs) in acute myeloid leukemia
12008951 possible role of fibroblast growth factors in expression of genes of the plasminogen activator system in breast fibroblasts
11840335 activation of human HST-1 gene in transgenic mice induces spermatogenesis and prevents adriamycin-induced testicular toxicity
12841847 FGF4 is upregulated by the OCT3 transcription factor in breast cancer cells.
14980503 HST-1 protects male germ cells from apoptosis under heat-stress condition in a mouse model.
12172783 results show that Hensen's node and FGFs induce ectopic expression of cardiac lineage markers, and that FGF and TGFbeta family members can modulate early development of the heart
