Role of FGFR2b in the crosstalk between autophagy and differentiation: involvement of JNK signaling
The FGFR2b is a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed exclusively in epithelial cells. We previously demonstrated that FGFR2b induces autophagy and that this process is required for the triggering of FGFR2b-mediated keratinocytes early differentiation. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating this interplay remain to be elucidated.
