EGF-CFC stands for Epidermal Growth Factor-Cripto, FRL-1, Cryptic family, a group of proteins known for their roles in various developmental processes. These proteins are part of the larger EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) family, which is crucial for cell growth, differentiation, and survival. In the context of Histology, EGF-CFC proteins are examined for their influence on tissue formation and repair.
