Signalling by growth factors, such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF), is critical for many of the morphogenetic events that shape the early embryo — including limb development. Recent findings regarding the regulation of FGF during limb development bridge the divide between results gained from in vitro biochemistry and the realities of in vivo development.
