Abstract

Compositions useful for regenerating cells and tissues comprise at least one functionalized dextran which has been substituted with carboxymethyl, benzylamide, or benzylamide sulfonate. These dextrans can be used alone or in combination with acid or basic fibroblast growth factors to enhance tissue or cell regeneration. Additionally, these dextrans enhance the stability of acid or basic fibroblast growth factors.
