FGFs (Fibroblast Growth Factors)

Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are a family of proteins that play a crucial role in cell growth, development, and tissue repair. They act as signaling molecules, guiding cells to divide, mature, or migrate to specific areas. FGFs are vital for processes like wound healing, blood vessel formation, and supporting the development of organs and tissues during growth. They bind to specific receptors on cells, triggering cascades of signals that influence cellular behavior. Overall, FGFs are essential for maintaining healthy tissue function and enabling the body to adapt and heal.
