Therapeutic Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 Definition

A recombinant therapeutic agent which is chemically identical to or similar to endogenous fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1. Because of the mitogenic and angiogenetic effects of FGF-1 on fibroblasts and endothelial cells, therapeutic FGF-1 has a potential role in wound healing; because FGF-1 has been shown to induce neurogenesis, therapeutic FGF-1 may have a role in nerve regeneration. (NCI04)
