substance that blocks proteins promoting cell growth

A Growth Factor Antagonist is a substance that inhibits the action of growth factors, which are proteins that stimulate cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. By blocking these signals, growth factor antagonists can slow down or stop processes like tissue regeneration or tumor growth, making them useful in treatments for conditions like cancer or excessive scarring.
