    Glossary Hepatocyte Growth Factor

    protein aiding cell growth, movement, and differentiation

    Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), also known as Scatter Factor (SF), is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, movement, and differentiation. It is particularly important in liver regeneration and wound healing, and has been studied for its potential in promoting hair growth and treating conditions like alopecia.
