Description
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a naturally occurring protein that stimulates cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation by binding to its receptor, EGFR. It plays a crucial role in wound healing, tissue repair, and skin regeneration. In cosmetics, EGF is often used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve skin texture, and promote collagen production. While primarily used topically, research explores its potential in other therapeutic areas.
