Overview

Growth factors are proteins that play a vital role in the growth and development of cells in the body. They help to regulate cell division, growth, differentiation, and survival. Growth factors are important in tissue repair, wound healing, and other forms of cellular regeneration. They also play a role in processes such as development, aging, and cancer. Growth factors may be naturally occurring or synthesized in the laboratory. They are used in a variety of medical treatments, from wound healing to cancer therapies. The precise mechanisms of action are still being studied and further research may lead to novel medical treatments.
