Neuware - 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. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to this super family. This book covers the work from Li's team from 2013 to 2018. This work should be a helper primer to scientists, particularly young students entering the FGFs field with their eye toward basic research and application. Seller Inventory # 9780443157936

Synopsis:

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

About the Author: Xiaokun Li is Professor at Wenzhou Medical University, and has been vice director and associate professor at the Bioengineering Institute at Jinan University, China. He was among the first to study FGFs in China, and leads the largest dedicated research group in the world on the subject. In the past 20 years he has had new drugs and products approved by China SFDA. He has published 183 papers in leading international journals, and is the chair of the International Chinese FGF Association. He holds a PhD from Sun-Yat sen Medical University, and a degree in medical science from Norman Bethune Medical University in China.
