GlossaryFibroblast Growth Factor

promotes cell growth, tissue repair, and development

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) is a family of proteins that play a crucial role in cell growth, tissue repair, and development. One well-known member, FGF-2 or Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), is particularly important for promoting the proliferation and differentiation of cells, including those involved in hair growth and wound healing.
