Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) and Noncanonical Partners in Cancer Signaling [PDF]
Increasing evidence indicates that success of targeted therapies in the treatment of cancer is context-dependent and is influenced by a complex crosstalk between signaling pathways and between cell types in the tumor.

The role of growth factor receptors in viral infections: An opportunity for drug repurposing against emerging viral diseases such as COVID‐19? [PDF]
Growth factor receptors are known to be involved in the process of viral infection. Many viruses not only use growth factor receptors to physically attach to the cell surface and internalize, but also divert receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in order to

Essential growth factor receptors for fibroblast homeostasis and activation: Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR), Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFR), and Transforming Growth Factor β Receptor (TGFβR). [PDF]
Fibroblasts are cells of mesenchymal origin that are found throughout the body. While these cells have several functions, their integral roles include maintaining tissue architecture through the production of key extracellular matrix components, and participation in wound healing after injury.

Integrins were originally identified as receptors for extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell-surface molecules (e.g., VCAM-1 and ICAM-1). Later, we discovered that many soluble growth factors/cytokines bind to integrins and play a critical role in growth ...

Cadherins and catenins in cancer: connecting cancer pathways and tumor microenvironment
Cadherin-catenin complexes are integral components of the adherens junctions crucial for cell-cell adhesion and tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation of these complexes is linked to cancer development via alteration of cell-autonomous oncogenic signaling ...
