GlossaryFibroblast Growth Factor Family

group of proteins crucial for cell growth and tissue repair

The Fibroblast Growth Factor Family (FGF Family) is a group of proteins that play crucial roles in cell growth, development, and healing processes. These proteins are involved in various biological functions, including tissue repair, embryonic development, and the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and survival. They are particularly important in the context of hair growth and skin health, as they help stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of cells in these tissues.
