    cells secrete proteins that regulate growth and repair

    Growth Factor Release refers to the process by which cells secrete proteins known as growth factors. These proteins play a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes, including cell growth, division, and repair. In the context of hair biology, growth factor release can stimulate hair follicle activity, promoting hair growth and potentially aiding in the treatment of conditions like alopecia.
