The study from 1988 investigated the effects of anti-EGF serum on newborn mice, finding that it delayed eyelid opening and incisor tooth eruption, accelerated hair growth, and delayed weight gain. These findings suggested that epidermal growth factor (EGF) played a physiological role in the first week after birth, which could be disrupted by the administration of anti-EGF serum.
