Abstract;We summarized previous reports pertaining to the effects of bFGF on the in vitro cell growth of keratinocytes and on in vivo re-epithelialization of wounds. We also described the effects of bFGF on the cell growth of human keratinocytes cultured on various extracellular matrices based on a study we did recently. When bFGF is used clinically as a wound-treatment drug, it is important to know the conditions under which it will have its maximal effects. (author abst.)
