    A novel approach to reduce catheter-related infection using sustained-release basic fibroblast growth factor for tissue regeneration in mice

    Catheter-related infection is one of the most serious complications. Microbes migrate along the catheter (the foreign material) from the wound at the insertion-site, leading to catheter-related infection. Basi...

    Enhanced angiogenesis by gelatin hydrogels incorporating basic fibroblast growth factor in rabbit model of hind limb ischemia

    Recently we have developed new sustained release system of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) using gelatin hydrogel as a carrier. Using this system, we examined the effect of topical sustained release of b...
