FGF1, or Fibroblast Growth Factor 1, is a protein that plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including cell growth, development, and tissue repair. It is part of the fibroblast growth factor family, which is involved in angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, and wound healing. Research has shown that FGF1 can influence metabolic processes and may have potential therapeutic applications in conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Its ability to promote cell survival and regeneration makes it a significant focus in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
