Association of fibroblast growth factor 10 with the fibrotic and inflammatory pathogenesis of Graves' orbitopathy.

<h4>Purpose</h4>The role of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in orbital fibroblasts (OFs) is rarely known. In this study, we investigated the effect of FGF10 on fibrosis and the inflammation mechanism of Graves' orbitopathy (GO).<h4>Methods</h4>Orbital tissue from GO (n =...
