EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor)

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, healing, and tissue regeneration. It helps stimulate the production of new cells, particularly in the skin. EGF binds to specific receptors on cell surfaces, triggering processes that promote healing and repair. It's often studied for its potential in skin treatments, such as reducing wrinkles or improving scars, and is used in some skincare products. Understanding EGF helps researchers explore ways to enhance healing and understand skin-related conditions better.
