Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) in transgenic (TgFGF2) mice results in a chondrodysplasia as the principle phenotype. Here we report a second phenotype in TgFGF2 mice that was previously undetected: A predisposition to angiogenic reactions with subsequent amplified angiogenesis that are both FGF-2 dependent. We used subcutaneous injection of extracellular matrix as an angiogenic assay....
