Abstract:
Growth factors (GFs) are a class of peptides that facilitate cell growth by binding to specific receptors on the cell membrane. With unique properties, GFs are widely applied in the repair of injured tissue. To address the limitations associated with natural peptide-based GFs and recombinant GFs, researchers have developed diverse GF mimetics. This article offers a comprehensive review on common types of GFs and their applications in tissue repair and summarizes the features of GF mimetics currently under development. The aim is to provide valuable references for promoting the application of GFs in regenerative medicine.
