Description
Recombinant human FGF-2 (FGF-basic or bFGF) is used for the cultivation of undifferentiated embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. The basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) also promotes the growth of a variety of cell types belonging to the mesodermal, ectodermal, and endodermal lineage. Thus, it has implications for diverse processes, such as angiogenesis, tissue repair, neuronal functions or embryogenesis. :
