Immunolocalization of an FGF-binding protein reveals a widespread expression pattern during different stages of mouse embryo development

A Aigner, PE Ray, F Czubayko, A Wellstein - Histochemistry and cell …, 2002 - Springer
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) play important roles during fetal and embryonic development.
FGF-2 (basic FGF, bFGF) is widely expressed in the embryo and has been linked to tissue …

[HTML][HTML] Identification of anaplastic lymphoma kinase as a receptor for the growth factor pleiotrophin

…, D Wen, A Karavanov, AT Riegel, A Wellstein - Journal of Biological …, 2001 - ASBMB
Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a secreted growth factor that induces neurite outgrowth and is mitogenic
for fibroblasts, epithelial, and endothelial cells. During tumor growth PTN can serve as an …

[HTML][HTML] Midkine binds to anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and acts as a growth factor for different cell types

…, ET Bowden, EB Sale, AT Riegel, A Wellstein - Journal of Biological …, 2002 - ASBMB
Midkine (MK) is a developmentally regulated, secreted growth factor homologous to
pleiotrophin (PTN). To investigate the potential role of MK in tumor growth, we expressed MK in …

Downstream of mutant KRAS, the transcription regulator YAP is essential for neoplastic progression to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

…, F Wang, B Kallakury, J Toretsky, A Wellstein… - Science …, 2014 - science.org
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with poor survival rates
