Growth Factor Signaling Agents

Meaning

Growth Factor Signaling Agents are a class of endogenous or exogenous molecules, typically peptides or proteins, that bind to specific cell surface receptors to stimulate cellular proliferation, differentiation, and tissue repair. These agents act as powerful paracrine and endocrine communicators, coordinating complex biological processes like wound healing, muscle hypertrophy, and neurogenesis. In a clinical setting, they are utilized to enhance regenerative capacity, modulate metabolism, and restore age-related decline in tissue function. Their action is highly targeted and concentration-dependent.
