    GlossaryPlatelet-Derived Growth Factor AA

    stimulates cell growth and tissue repair, including hair follicles

    Platelet-Derived Growth Factor AA (PDGF-AA) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, healing, and development. It is one of the isoforms of PDGF, which are important for stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of cells, particularly in the context of wound healing and tissue repair. In the realm of hair biology, PDGF-AA can influence hair follicle development and regeneration, making it a potential target for treatments related to hair loss and alopecia.
