Abstract
Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are a family of cell-signaling proteins. FGF, specifically the FGF-1 subfamily, which contains FGF-1 and FGF-2, is important in several biological functions such as wound healing, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. FGF-1 has cell proliferation properties and FGF-2 has angiogenic properties. These FGFs have great potential for wound-healing therapy medications...
