Growth Factor
Placenta contains various growth factors, which are involved in cell growth, regeneration and repair. Some representative growth factors and their main roles are listed below.
◆Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Promotes cell proliferation and differentiation, assists in skin regeneration and wound healing.
◆Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF): Stimulates cell growth, proliferation and differentiation and promotes tissue repair and regeneration.
◆Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF): Stimulates tissue regeneration and repair and plays an important role in angiogenesis and wound healing.
◆Nerve Growth Factor (NGF): Supports nervous system health by promoting nerve cell growth, regeneration and repair.
◆Platelet Dervivative Growth Factor (PDGF): A platelet-derived growth factor that promotes cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and tissue repair.
◆Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β): Regulates cell growth, differentiation, and extracellular matrix synthesis to aid in tissue regeneration and repair.
