tissue development and repair processes

How Do Growth Factors Influence Tissue Repair?

Growth factors are proteins that play key roles in tissue repair by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Some important growth factors include:
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Promotes cell proliferation and differentiation.
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): Stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells.
Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β): Regulates inflammation and promotes the formation of extracellular matrix.
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): Promotes angiogenesis.
