Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are multifunctional growth factors that increase the proliferation of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm-derived cells and promote neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth in various regions of the brain, yet the physiological role(s) they may play in nervous system funct...
