FGF ligands in Drosophila have distinct activities required to support cell migration and differentiation.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Mar 2009

Kadam Snehalata, McMahon Amy, Tzou Phoebe, Stathopoulos Angelike

Abstract excerpt

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling controls a vast array of biological processes including cell differentiation and migration, wound healing and malignancy. In vertebrates, FGF signaling is complex, with over 100 predicted FGF ligand-receptor combinations. Drosophila melanogaster presents a simpler model system in which to study FGF signaling, with only three ligands and two FGF receptors (FGFRs)...
