Expression of a binding protein for FGF is associated with epithelial development and skin carcinogenesis
Fibroblast growth factors (FGF)-1 and -2 are found in most embryonic and adult normal and tumor tissues, where they are immobilized in the extracellular matrix (EM). Mobilization of these FGFs is part of a tig...
