GlossaryFibroblast Growth Factor 20 (FGF20)

protein involved in hair follicle development and cell growth

Fibroblast Growth Factor 20 (FGF20) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, tissue repair, and development. It is particularly important in the context of hair growth, as it helps regulate the proliferation and differentiation of cells in hair follicles. This makes FGF20 a significant factor in studies related to hair loss and potential treatments for conditions like alopecia.
