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. Growth factors are important for regulating a variety of cellular processes. Growth factors typically act as signaling molecules ...

A mitogenic growth factor activity was found in pituitary extracts by Armelin in 1973 [14] and further work by Gospodarowicz as reported in 1974 described a more defined isolation of proteins from cow brain extract which, when tested in a bioassay that caused fibroblasts to proliferate, led these investigators to apply the name "fibroblast ...
Not only are they one of the most popular citrus fruits, but lemons are a good source of vitamin C—one 58-gram lemon can provide over 30 milligrams of vitamin C, according to a recent study ...
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 ...
[3] [4] GDF3 is also known as "Vg-related gene 2" (Vgr-2). Expression of GDF3 occurs in ossifying bone during embryonic development and in the thymus, spleen, bone marrow brain, and adipose tissue of adults. It has a dual nature of function; it both inhibits and induces early stages of development in embryos. [5] [6] [7]
