In section I, we will review embryonic central nervous system (CNS) development, focusing on forebrain NSCs and the role of the RTKs, such as FGF receptors (FGFRs), in the earliest developmental processes. RTKs are transmembrane proteins that, upon binding a ligand presented or secreted by nearby cells, phosphorylate intracellular signaling molecules and transduce cell-to-cell signaling in the brain. FGF receptors (FGFRs) are among the earliest RTKs expressed in the developing brain, but also continue to be expressed in the mature brain.","tracks":[]}
