In reproductive-age women, one of the common adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is premature ovarian failure. In addition, a significant number of women experience early… (More)

Recent experiments have established that Sox9 is required for chondrocyte differentiation. Here, we show that fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) markedly enhance Sox9 expression in mouse primary… (More)

The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor complex is a ubiquitous regulator of development and adult tissue homeostasis that bridges the peri-cellular matrix and the intracellular environment.… (More)
Heparan sulfate-regulated transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor FGFR4 is the major FGFR isotype in mature hepatocytes. Fibroblast growth factor has been implicated in the definition of liver from… (More)

We introduce a parity and column twist bit interleaver which improves performance of DVB-T2 LDPC codes in channels with erasure. The key idea is avoiding multiple bits on constellation symbols which… (More)
Progressive loss of the differentiated phenotype and communication with stroma accompanies the transition of nonmalignant rat prostate epithelial cells to anaplastic, malignant tumors. Here we show… (More)
Polypeptides of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family are ubiquitous bioregulators within tissues whose activity is controlled by heparan sulfates within the pericellular matrix. FGF and the… (More)
Heparin or heparin-like heparan sulfate proteoglycans are obligatory for activity of the heparin-binding fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. Heparin interacts independently of FGF ligand with a… (More)
Stromal cell-derived FGF-7 binds and activates only the resident FGFR2IIIb in epithelial cells while FGF-1 and FGF-2 exhibit a broader interaction with multiple isoforms of FGFR. Here we report the… (More)
A divalent cation-dependent association between heparin or heparan sulfate and the ectodomain of the FGF receptor kinase (FGFR) restricts FGF-independent trans-phosphorylation and supports the… (More)
