Epidermal
growth factor (EGF) increases proliferation of epithelial cells to enhance wound healing and activates hyaluronan synthase 2--an enzyme involved in manufacturing hyaluronic acid that restores skin hydration.
Researchers in a number of biological sciences offer a broad treatment of fibroblast
growth factor vascular biology and its applications.
Global Markets Direct's, 'Connective Tissue
Growth Factor (Insulin-Like
Growth Factor-Binding Protein 8 or Hypertrophic Chondrocyte-Specific Protein 24) - Pipeline Review, H1 2016', provides in depth analysis on Connective Tissue
Growth Factor (Insulin-Like
Growth Factor-Binding Protein 8 or Hypertrophic Chondrocyte-Specific Protein 24) targeted pipeline therapeutics.
The company's STAR (Serial Tethered ARray)
growth factor technology works by tethering multiple
growth factors to a liquid phase, flexible backbone to form a cluster array, like beads on a string.
Tuominen and colleagues have identified a
growth factor that can be used to halt the progress of damage brought on by a nerve poison, and possibly restore the function of damaged cells.
platelet derived
growth factor receptor protein which preferentially binds to the AA homodimer and AB heterodimer forms of platelet derived
growth factor and also binds the BB homodimer at high affinity, is described.
Functionally significant insulin-like
growth factor 1 receptor mutations in centarians.
Some skin care companies are launching products with human
growth factor (HGF), as it has proved to be an effective wound healer.
CHICAGO -- In a study of saliva samples from 43 adults, epidermal
growth factor and vascular endothelial
growth factor levels were significantly lower among people who had low scores on the Beck Depression Inventory and the UCLA Loneliness Scale, Tricia Ruth Crosby, D.
People who were more lonely and depressed exhibited significantly lower epidermal
growth factor levels, compared with people who were not particularly lonely or depressed.
Sometimes androgen receptors are bypassed completely, and cell growth is activated by other naturally occurring compounds including insulin-like
growth factor-1, epidermal
growth factor, and others.
The tissue is then dissociated into individual cells that are maintained in a serum-free medium supplemented with
growth factors, including epidermal
growth factor, insulin-like
growth factor-1, and basic fibroblast
growth factor.
