FBMGGs have been applied to study the directed migration/growth of a variety of cell types to different diffusible factors, such as breast cancer chemotaxis to EGF (Wang et al., 2004), endothelial cell chemotaxis to vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) (Barkefors et al., 2008), and growth cone turning toward brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (Joanne et al., 2008). The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is breast carcinoma.
