title: Putting two and two together: crystal structure of the FGF-receptor complex.
abstract: The recently determined crystal structure of an FGF-receptor complex reveals a surprising architecture and a novel mode of receptor dimerization. The structure also elucidates the role of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in receptor activation, showing significant differences from previously proposed models.
