Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are proteins that regulate the activity and differentiation of stem cells responsible for making connective tissues. FGFs are also active in other cells, including those involved in embryonic development and repair of injuries. Some types of FGFs are being tested for potential treatments for health conditions such as autism and coronary […]
Fibroblasts are cells that produce connective tissue and can differentiate into cells that produce different types of connective tissue. They help maintain the body’s structural integrity, play a role in tissue repair, and can be observed at various levels of activity depending on age and physical condition. Disorders that inhibit fibroblast production or function can […]
