bFGF and tumor angiogenesis Back in the limelight?Janusz Rak
& Robert S. KerbelCancer Research Program, Sunnybrook Health Science Centre, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M4N 3M5, Canada An FGF-binding protein secreted by tumor cells suggests how bFGF may stimulate tumor angiogenesis (pages 1137−1140). REFERENCES
