FGF-2 stands for fibroblast growth factor 2, also termed fibroblast growth factor basic (FGF-b) or basic FGF. Human FGF-2 is a recombinant protein optimized for use in cell culture, differentiation studies, and functional assays.
Applications
Human FGF-2 can be used for a variety of applications, including:
Stimulation of proliferation and differentiation of several cell types, such as mesenchymal stromal cells, neural cells, and endothelial cells.
Long-term maintenance and propagation of undifferentiated embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells.
Differentiation of neural cells starting from embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cell cultures.
