title: The fibroblast growth factor pathway and its role in the pathogenesis of lung disease.
abstract: The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathway is integral to the pathogenesis of many airway diseases and in the growth and development of the normal lung. The FGF pathway has a role in key regulatory pathways of fibrosis, and provides a number of potential therapeutic targets for future research.
