## Abstract Fibroblast growth factors (Fgfs) encode small signaling proteins that help regulate embryo patterning. Fgfs fall into seven families, including FgfD. Nonvertebrate chordates have a single __FgfD__ gene; mammals have three (__Fgf8, Fgf17__, and __Fgf18__); and teleosts have six (__fgf8a,
In this paper we discuss a model from neurobiology, which describes the outgrowth of axons from neurons in the nervous system. The model combines ordinary differential equations, defining the movement of the axons, with parabolic partial differential equations. The parabolic equations model the conc
