Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) ligands exhibit different preferences for signaling cascades triggered through FGFR1, a receptor which is critical for skeletal development, and these differences likely contribute to the amazing complexity of developmental processes.

While movement of Fgf-signaling to the limb mesenchyme accompanied a shift in function, the ultimate outcome remains a convergent tetrapod limb phenotype.

Exposing rats to acute stress increased the generation of new neurons in a subregion of the hippocampus, and improved the animals' performance in a memory task two weeks later.

Disulfide-bridged fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) dimerization at the inner plasma membrane leaflet produces the building block for higher FGF2 oligomers that drive FGF2 membrane translocation into the extracellular space.
