Description
Fibroblast Growth Factors, Second Edition systematically introduces readers to FGF in the fields of injury repair and regeneration, endocrinology and metabolism, structure and modification, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, FGF/FGFR inhibitor, engineering and new drug development. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are secreted protein ligands that act in a paracrine or endocrine fashion to carry out their pleiotropic functions in development, tissue homeostasis and metabolism. This book covers the work from Li's team from 2013 to 2018 and will be a primer for scientists, particularly young students entering the FGFs field with an eye on basic research and application.- Contains approximately 90% new material on topics covered- Includes information on "breakthrough discoveries which have been made since the publication of the first edition- Introduces detailed research methods and technologies of FGFs so the book can be used as a "toolbox by the user- Includes comprehensive and systematic research and industry application
