In situ formation of poly(vinyl alcohol)–heparin hydrogels for mild encapsulation and prolonged release of basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor [PDF]
Heparin-based hydrogels are attractive for controlled growth factor delivery, due to the native ability of heparin to bind and stabilize growth factors.

Stimulation of Growth of Keratinocytes by Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor
Numerous heparin-binding growth factors active in different types of cells have recently been shown to belong to the family of fibroblast growth factors. Because these factors are active in some types of epithelial cells, we tested the activity of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) from bovine brain in human keratinocyte cultures.

Basic fibroblast growth factor and fibroblast growth factor receptors in adult olfactory epithelium
Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) stimulates proliferation of the globose basal cells, the neuronal precursor in the olfactory epithelium. The present study investigates the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor and fibroblast growth factor receptors in the adult olfactory epithelium.

Basic fibroblast growth factor induces angiogenesis in vitro. [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are potent mitogens for vascular and capillary endothelial cells in vitro and can stimulate the formation of blood capillaries (angiogenesis) in vivo. A crucial event in this process is the invasion of the perivascular extracellular matrix by sprouting endothelial cells.
