Abstract: FGFs and FGFRs constitute a system affect bone development and formation process, FGF combinates with FGFR to activate a variety of signaling pathways regulate cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. Bone is an important target organ to FGF, studies have shown that FGFs/FGFRs system plays an important regulatory role for proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast, osteoclast and chondrocyte. This article reviews the research progression of FGFs/FGFRs system to bone regulation.
