| Name | Type of diseases | Dosage | Outcomes | Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NGF | Chronic ulcerations | 50 μL/day (200 μg/mL) for 4–6 weeks | • Accelerating wound healing of the chronic cutaneous ulcer | [154] |
| • Inducing angiogenesis | ||||
| Diabetic neuropathy | 0.1 μg/kg rhNGF subcutaneously three times a week for 6 months | • protecting peripheral nervous system neurons and normalizing their activity • Causing acute pain reaction | [155] | |
| FGF1 | Spinal cord injury | combination FGF1 and fibrin glue (2 mL) at 3 and 6 months postsurgery via lumbar puncture. |
• Improving ASIA motor and sensory scale scores • Increasing the intrinsic activity of neurons |
[156] |
| FGF2 | Type 2 diabetes mellitus | 0.5 μg/kg per day FGF1 for 16 weeks |
• Improving glucose sensing and uptake • Enhancing insulin sensitivity |
[157] |
| Acute stroke | Patients were intravenously administered FGF2 ranging from 3 to 150 μg/kg for 24 h |
• Significant reducing intracerebral hemorrhage • A mild advantage on decreasing mortality rates |
