Glossary Platelet-Derived Growth Factor

protein that stimulates cell growth and tissue repair

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) is a protein that plays a crucial role in wound healing and the growth of blood vessels. It is released by platelets in the blood and stimulates cells to divide and grow, which is essential for tissue repair and regeneration. PDGF is also involved in various cellular processes, including the development of hair follicles, making it relevant in treatments for conditions like alopecia.
