Abstract excerpt
Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) is a potent mitogen which is required for normal development, particularly the development of the skeletal system, where the inhibition of FGF binding to its receptor results in various skeletal malformations. The present study employed a newly engineered line of FGF-2 transgenic mice to determine the effects of overexpressing FGF-2 on limb bone ontogeny. We collected...
