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.

How do receptor-tyrosine kinases like FGF21 not crossactivate receptor-tyrosine kinase/PI3K pathways (eg insulin) in the same cell?

Also do RTKs activate BOTH the PKB and PKC routes?
