Abstract
The principal action of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is considered to be the stimulation of GH production and release in the pituitary.1 With the recent identification of wound-associated fibroblasts as a direct target of GHRH,2 this neuropeptide emerges as a rather pleiotropic hormone implicated in the regulation of various physiological and pathological processes and affecting diverse cell types.Entities:
