Fibroblast growth factor in pancreatic development, homeostasis, and disease.
Pancreatic development is a tightly orchestrated process driven by the concerted action of multiple signaling pathways. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) serve as pivotal cues across its stages: they engage FGF receptors (FGFRs) to activate downstream ERK/MAPK, PI3K-AKT, and PLCγ cascades, thereby governing pancreatic p...
