Cell Growth Agent

Meaning

A Cell Growth Agent is a generic clinical descriptor for any endogenous or exogenous substance, typically a peptide or steroid hormone, that primarily functions to stimulate cellular proliferation, differentiation, or survival within specific tissues. In endocrinology, these agents are critical signaling molecules that orchestrate tissue maintenance, repair, and hypertrophy, influencing everything from muscle mass to skin turnover. Clinical application of these agents must be carefully managed to harness their anabolic and regenerative properties safely.
