FGF and TGFbeta signalling in an in-vitro model of craniosynostosis

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) and Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGFbeta) are key regulators of bone development. Constitutively activating mutations of FGF Receptors (FGFR) 1-3 result in craniosynostosis, premature fusion of cranial sutures. The aim of this thesis was to determine how FGF signal...
