During the last ten years, several groups, including the present authors, have detected growth factor activities in various ocular tissues, and the presence of a ubiquitous Eye-Derived Growth Factor (EDGF) has been described. More recently, isolation and characterization of this growth factor activi

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are known to be synthesized in the central nervous system (CNS) and to act on CNS cells in vitro, but less is known about their synthesis, expression, and role in vivo. In this work, using specific anti-acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) antibodies, we have shown
## Abstract Recent findings have pointed out the role of neurotrophic factors in the survival and maintenance of neurons of the auditory system. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, FGF‐2) is a potent neurotrophic molecule whose actions can be seen in the central and peripheral nervous systems. In
The two fibroblast growth factors called acidic and basic FGF (aFGF and bFGF) show a strong homology (55%) of their amino acid sequence (Esch et al.: Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 85:6507-6511, 1985). The effects of these factors on the rate of proliferation of rat astroblasts and on the expression of g
