If your goal is smoother, tighter, firmer skin, then yes, growth factors really do work. "Growth factors stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production, leading to improved ...
A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cell proliferation, wound healing, and occasionally cellular differentiation. [1] Usually it is a secreted protein or a steroid hormone .

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one among numerous growth factors that regulate cell growth and division.In particular, PDGF plays a significant role in blood vessel formation, the growth of blood vessels from already-existing blood vessel tissue, mitogenesis, i.e. proliferation, of mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts, osteoblasts, tenocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells and ...
'WH' cover star Ashley Park uses FaceGym's microcurrent facial device to get sculpted, lifted cheekbones. Our editors tested it out—read her honest review.
PRP is derived from the patient's own blood and may contain growth factors that increase collagen production. [3] It can be applied topically to the entire treatment area during and after collagen induction therapy treatments or injected intradermally to scars. Efficacy of the combined treatments remains in question pending scientific studies ...
Myostatin is a myokine that is produced and released by myocytes and acts on muscle cells to inhibit muscle growth. [7] Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that is a member of the TGF beta protein family. [8] [9] Myostatin is assembled and produced in skeletal muscle before it is released into the blood stream. [10]
PDGF subunits -A and -B are important factors regulating cell proliferation, cellular differentiation, cell growth, development and many diseases including cancer. [2] There are two forms of the PDGF-R, alpha and beta each encoded by a different gene. [3] Depending on which growth factor is bound, PDGF-R homo- or heterodimerizes. [4]
