Cellular signaling by fibroblast growth factor receptors.

TLDR
The 22 members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of growth factors mediate their cellular responses by binding to and activating the different isoforms encoded by the four receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) designated FGFR1, FGFR2,FGFR3 and FGFR4.

Cell signaling by receptor-tyrosine kinases

TL;DR: Understanding of the complex signaling networks downstream from RTKs and how alterations in these networks are translated into cellular responses provides an important context for therapeutically countering the effects of pathogenic RTK mutations in cancer and other diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibroblast growth factor signalling: from development to cancer

TL;DR: There is now substantial evidence for the importance of FGF signalling in the pathogenesis of diverse tumour types, and clinical reagents that specifically target the FGFs or FGF receptors are being developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein tyrosine phosphatases: from genes, to function, to disease

TL;DR: Recent breakthroughs in understanding of the role of the PTPs in the regulation of signal transduction and the aetiology of human disease are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Fibroblast Growth Factor signaling pathway

TL;DR: Members of the FGF family function in the earliest stages of embryonic development and during organogenesis to maintain progenitor cells and mediate their growth, differentiation, survival, and patterning.

TGF-beta signal transduction.

TL;DR: The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family of growth factors control the development and homeostasis of most tissues in metazoan organisms and mutations in these pathways are the cause of various forms of human cancer and developmental disorders.

Signaling--2000 and beyond.

TL;DR: The important findings in the history of signal transduction are adequately covered in many reviews, and I have therefore cited reviews that discuss the seminal papers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell surface, heparin-like molecules are required for binding of basic fibroblast growth factor to its high affinity receptor.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that free heparin and heparan sulfate can reconstitute a low affinity receptor that is, in turn, required for the high affinity binding of bFGF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibroblast growth factors

TL;DR: A subset of the FGF family, expressed in adult tissue, is important for neuronal signal transduction in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
