Studies of Wound Healing in the Presence of an Angiogenesis Factor

Abstract

The effects of the angiogenic protein basic fibroblast growth factor was tested in a mouse wound healing assay. Using punch biopsies, the rate of re- epithelialization, inflammatory response and degree of vascularization were measured and recombinant FGF were observed. The difference between treated and untreated wounds were small and equivocal. Keywords: Skin wounds; Wound healing; RA II; Proteins; Angiogenesis; Mini-pigs; Rats; Lab animals; Guinea pigs.
