Abstract
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a multifunctional cytokine that is related to many diseases. HGF mainly contributes to cell migration,proliferation,and survival and regulates vascular angiogenesis,matrix deposition,and degradation of wound healing. HGF also promotes wound reepithelialization and reduces scar formation. This review article summarizes the role of HGF in wound repair and the relationship between HGF and other growth factors,especially when applied for the clinical treatment of chronic skin ulcers.Entities:
