What is FGF2?

FGF2 is a potent mitogen involved in angiogenesis, fibroblast expansion, and granulation tissue formation. It is widely studied in skin repair, ischemic tissue recovery, and chronic wound models.

Key Benefits & Mechanisms

angiogenesis

fibroblast proliferation

granulation tissue formation

accelerated re-epithelialization

Research Summary

FGF2 has extensive preclinical and clinical literature for skin ulcers, burns, and postsurgical repair, largely through angiogenic and mesenchymal-cell signaling. It remains one of the most studied repair factors for improving tissue perfusion and remodeling.

Related Peptides

EGF

Human Epidermal Growth Factor

EGF is a small endogenous growth factor that drives epithelial cell migration and proliferation during tissue repair. It has been studied for burns, ulcers, and mucosal healing because it can accelerate re-epithelialization.

rhPDGF-BB

Recombinant Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB

rhPDGF-BB is a dimeric growth factor that recruits fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells into the wound bed. It has a well-known role in chronic wound care, especially diabetic foot ulcers, where it supports granulation and closure.

Palifermin

Recombinant Human Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF, FGF7)

Palifermin is a truncated recombinant form of keratinocyte growth factor that protects and expands epithelial tissues. It is most recognized for mucosal protection, but the same biology is relevant to epithelial recovery and healing.

Ac-SDKP

N-Acetyl-Seryl-Aspartyl-Lysyl-Proline

Ac-SDKP is a naturally occurring tetrapeptide studied for tissue remodeling and repair signaling. It is best known for anti-fibrotic and pro-resolution effects that may support healthier healing responses.
