Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is the predominant FGFR in cardiac tissue and regulates proliferation, differentiation, and maintenance of normal myocardium. During development of cardiac tissue, FGFR1 gene expression regulates cardiomyocyte proliferation. The focus of this study was to determine the molecular mechanism of transcriptional activation of the FGFR1 gene in proliferating neonatal...
