Overexpression of fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) mRNA has been previously described in prostate cancer. Of its four isoforms, FGF8b is thought to be the most important in carcinogenesis. We ...

Lack of Fgf8 in the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) alters expression of other Fgf genes, Shh and Bmp2. Nature Genetics - Fgf8 is required for outgrowth and patterning of the limbs.

A new paper in the January 15th issue of G&D provides the structural basis by which FGF8 splice isoforms (FGF8a and FGF8b) differ in their ability to pattern embryonic brain.

The role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8) in embryonic development and organ formation is gaining increased recognition as scientists uncover its wide-ranging influence. FGF8, a powerful signaling ...

"Fgf8 on the left-hand side has an ally to help it win the battle." Another protein, called Nodal, is present only on the left side of the brain. When it teams up with Fgf8, ...

BioWa has announced that it has licensed from Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., Ltd., its parent company, the exclusive worldwide rights except Asia to develop and commercialize Anti-Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 ...
