Growth Factor Biology

The response of living tissue to injury forms the foundation of all surgical practice:

All surgery results in tissue and cellular damage
The body's natural response to this injury is a series of regeneration and remodeling steps collectively referred to as the "Healing Cascade"
The steps are initiated and controlled by bioactive proteins found in platelets, plasma, and white blood cells
Cellular regeneration, remodeling, and proliferation required a combination of:

Increasing the concentration of the bioactive proteins acts as a catalyst for accelerating the wound healing process and forms the foundation of tissue engineering
