GlossaryPlatelet-Derived Growth Factor BB

protein that stimulates cell growth and tissue repair

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB (PDGF-BB) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, healing, and the formation of blood vessels. It is one of the isoforms of PDGF and is particularly important in wound healing and tissue repair, as it stimulates the proliferation and migration of cells such as fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells.
