NCIt 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);
