Human basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) is a single-chain polypeptide growth factor that plays a significant role in the process of wound healing and is a potent inducer of angiogenesis. bFGF has been shown to support the maintenance of undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells. It also stimulates the proliferation of all cells of mesodermal origin, and many cells of neuroectodermal, ectodermal and endodermal origin. bFGF is a chemotactic and mitogenic agent for endothelial cells in vitro and induces neural differentiation, survival and regeneration. It has been shown to be crucial in modulation of angiogenesis, tissue repair, embryonic development and neuronal function in vivo.
