This review is aimed to provide a concise yet extensive survey of key short bioactive peptide
sequences for a range of applications ranging from biomaterials development to peptides …

The communication of cells with their surroundings is mostly encoded in the epitopes of
structural and signalling proteins present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). These peptide …

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are small polypeptide growth factors, all of whom share in
common certain structural characteristics, and most of whom bind heparin avidly. Many …

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) comprise a large family of developmental and physiological
signaling molecules. All FGFs have a high affinity for the glycosaminoglycan heparin and for …

ORGANELLE transport along microtubules is believed to be mediated by organelle-
associated force-generating molecules1. Two classes of microtubule-based organelle …

Crystal structures of heparin-derived tetra-and hexasaccharides complexed with basic
fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were determined at resolutions of 1.9 and 2.2 angstroms …

Publisher Summary The family of fibroblast growth factors (FGF) is the largest family of
growth factors involved in soft–tissue growth and regeneration. The FGF family includes …

The fibroblast or heparin-binding growth factors (HBGFs) are thought to be modulators of
cell growth and migration, angiogenesis, wound repair, neurite extension, and mesoderm …

Intracellular sugars are more reactive glycosylating agents than glucose. In vitro
nonezymatic glycosylation of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by fructose, glucose-6 …
