Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 describes how FGF23 was initially identified as a bone-derived factor targeting the kidney. As such, sections in this comprehensive book cover exciting research that shows that different FGF23 effects require distinct signaling receptors and mediators that differ among target tissues, cover FGF23 initially identified as a bone-derived factor targeting the kidney, look at FGF23 as a regulator of phosphate metabolism and beyond, and cover research on novel concepts of FGF receptor signaling. Additional sections cover biochemistry, pharmacology and nephrology, making this book an ideal reference source on FGF23.
"…reviews the important role of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and its association with human disease…. to provide an overview of the impact FGF23 has on different systems and offer a single resource for researchers to understand the larger scope of its utility…. [T]he first textbook fully dedicated to FGF23,…. it is critical to understand this protein as we learn to target these disease pathways…in many fields, including nephrology, bone metabolism, and cardiology. [A]uthored by established investigators studying FGF23 and Klotho who have shaped this line of research, as well as newer investigators who have expanded the field with novel insights…. [E]asy to read,… a unique and important book. As a provider in nephrology and bone metabolism, I have already referenced it on several occasions in review of patient cases." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Jon Webb, MD (University of Kentucky College of Medicine)
