Basic fibroblast growth factor contributes to a shift in the angioregulatory activity of retinal glial (Müller) cells.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a pleiotropic cytokine with pro-angiogenic and neurotrophic effects. The angioregulatory role of this molecule may become especially significant in retinal neovascularization, which is a hallmark of a number of ischemic eye diseases. This study was undertaken...
