    proteins regulating cell growth, differentiation, and immune responses

    Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) refers to a group of proteins that play crucial roles in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and immune responses. There are two main types, TGF-α and TGF-β, with TGF-β being particularly important in processes like wound healing, fibrosis, and the regulation of the immune system. These factors are significant in both normal physiological processes and in the development of diseases such as cancer and fibrosis.
