Definition

A recombinant form of bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF), with cell growth stimulating activity. bFGF is a multifunctional cell growth factor that stimulates the growth of cells derived from mesodermal and neuroectodermal cells. Upon administration, rb-bFGF induces cellular proliferation and differentiation, promotes tissue repair and reconstruction. rb-bFGF may improve chemotherapy- or radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis.
