Analysis of trophic responses in lesioned brain: focus on basic fibroblast growth factor mechanisms
The actions of fibroblast Caps growth factors (FGFs), particularly the basic form (bFGF), have been described in a large number of cells and include mitogenicity, angiogenicity and wound repair.The present review discusses the presence of the bFGF protein and messenger RNA as well as the presence of the FGF receptor messenger RNA in the rodent brai
