    Area of Science:

    • Cell Biology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) were initially identified over 40 years ago.
    • FGFs are pleiotropic, influencing mesenchymal, endocrine, and neural cells.
    • FGFs play roles in angiogenesis, wound healing, and tissue regeneration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the diverse biological activities of FGFs.
    • To understand the role of FGFs in normal cell homeostasis and disease.
    • To highlight the therapeutic potential of FGFs.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of historical research on FGFs.
    • Analysis of FGFs' effects on various cell types.
    • Examination of FGFs' involvement in physiological and pathological processes.

    Main Results:

    • FGFs stimulate fibroblast proliferation and affect a wide range of cells.
    • FGFs are implicated in angiogenesis, wound healing, nerve regeneration, and cartilage repair.
    • FGFs have demonstrated potential in cardiology, neurology, oncology, and orthopedics.

    Conclusions:

    • FGFs are crucial for regulating cell homeostasis and disease pathophysiology.
    • Further research is needed to fully realize the therapeutic value of FGFs.
    • Understanding FGF function is essential for developing novel treatments.
