D-promotes the endothelial cell proliferation, the physical organization of endothelial cells into tiny tubes, promotes the formation of new blood vessels, in a process known as angiogenesis. bFGF is a more potent angiongenic factor than VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) or PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor). Apart from stimulating blood vessel formation, bFGF is an important player in wound healing. It stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts that give rise to granulation tissue, which fills up a wound space/cavity early in the wound healing process
