FGF signaling

FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor) signaling is a biological process where specific proteins called FGFs bind to receptors on cell surfaces, activating internal pathways that control cell growth, division, and development. This signaling is crucial for forming tissues, healing wounds, and maintaining healthy skin, bones, and blood vessels. Disruptions in FGF signaling can lead to developmental issues or diseases like cancer. Overall, FGF signaling helps cells communicate and coordinate their activities to support growth and tissue maintenance in the body.
