    Glossary Nerve Growth Factor

    protein promoting nerve cell growth and survival

    Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the growth, maintenance, and survival of nerve cells, including those in the brain. It is essential for the development of the nervous system and has been studied for its potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases and promoting hair growth by supporting the health of hair follicles.
