FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor)

Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are a group of proteins that play a key role in regulating cell growth, development, and healing in the body. They act as signals, instructing cells to divide, differentiate, or move to where they are needed. FGFs are vital for processes like wound healing, forming new blood vessels, and tissue development during growth and repair. They work by binding to specific receptors on cell surfaces, triggering pathways that influence cell behavior. Overall, FGFs are essential for maintaining healthy tissue function and supporting the body's ability to repair and grow.
