    Glossary Growth Factors

    naturally occurring proteins that regulate cell growth and repair

    Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins or hormones that play a crucial role in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. They are essential for various biological processes, including wound healing, tissue repair, and hair growth. In the context of hair, growth factors can stimulate hair follicles, promoting the growth of new hair and potentially aiding in the treatment of conditions like alopecia.
