👉 Growth fluid, also known as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), is a type of protein that plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels form from pre-existing ones. It is secreted by various cells, including endothelial cells and mesenchymal cells, and acts as a signaling molecule to promote tissue repair, wound healing, and embryonic development. Growth fluid binds to specific receptors on the surface of target cells, initiating a cascade of intracellular signaling pathways that ultimately lead to changes in gene expression and cellular behavior, facilitating growth and regeneration. This fluid is particularly important in the development of organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys, as well as in maintaining tissue homeostasis throughout life.
