FGF Overview: FGFs and Their Importance - Part 1

This video provides an overview about fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs). Here, Dr. David Ornitz, a professor of developmental biology at Washington University in St. Louis, School of Medicine, will address what FGFs and their receptors are, how the FGF-FGFR signal is regulated and how FGFs and their receptors regulate biological functions.

Part two of this video will be published in July, and will provide more information about diseases resulting from FGF and FGFR mutations.

Dr. Ornitz has published 168 scientific papers and 27 book chapters and reviews. You can visit his website at http://ornitzlab.wustl.edu
