Platelet-Derived Growth Factor

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) is a protein that plays a key role in the body's healing process. It’s released by blood platelets when injury occurs, signaling cells to grow and divide, especially those involved in repairing blood vessels and tissues. PDGF helps coordinate the formation of new tissue by attracting and activating cells necessary for healing. It is essential for wound repair, tissue development, and maintaining healthy blood vessels. Overall, PDGF acts as a messenger that promotes tissue regeneration and repair after injury.
