Feasibility of Growth Factor Agent Therapy in Repairing Motor Injury

Abstract

Growth factors (GF), with the activity of stimulating cell growth, play a significant role in biology, medicine, and exercise physiology. In the process of exercise, human tissues are impacted, making cells suffer damage. Growth factor can accelerate the repair of damaged cells and regulate the synthesis of protein, so biological preparations of growth factors can be added to traditional therapies. A combination of growth factor biologics and conventional therapies may improve the efficiency of injury repair, but growth factor biologics may not produce any results. The feasibility of growth factor biologics in the treatment of motor injury was discussed. The research have shown that: 1) GF biological agent therapy is a very promising treatment for motor injury, which is based on the power of autologous growth factor (GFs) to accelerate tissue healing, promote muscle regeneration, increase angiogenesis, reduce fibrosis, and make the muscle injury rapid recovery. 2) There are various methods for delivering the higher dose of GF to the injured tissue, but most of them depend on the platelet release of GF. At the site of injury, there are several ways to deliver higher doses of GF to the injured tissue. 3) At present, the inhibition of GF is mainly through signal transduction inhibitors and inhibition of transcription factor production. 4) Pattern of GF during wound repair: GF directly regulates many key steps of normal wound repair, including inflammatory cell chemotaxis, division and proliferation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes and vascular endothelial cells, formation of new blood vessels, and synthesis and degradation of intercellular substances. 5) When GF promotes chronic wound healing, in most cases, certain GF can be used targeted only when in vivo regulation still cannot meet the need for repair.

Novel Bioresorbable Drug-Eluting Mesh Scaffold for Therapy of Muscle Injury

“…Present treatments have restricted efficacy, and the best strategy for targeting these lesions is unknown. Various strategies, including growth factor injections, − muscle stem cell transplantation with or without biological scaffolds, − antifibrotic therapy, − and mechanical stimulation, − have been proposed as therapeutic alternatives to improve functional muscle recovery. Although researchers have studied these methods of improving muscle healing extensively, there is still no gold standard of treatment.…”

“…Growth factors play a key role in biophysical processes [ 26 , 27 ] including cell growth, cell division, migration, apoptosis, survival, wound healing, and metabolism. MLGF, a newly discovered secreted protein from abalone, is a member of the ADGF subfamily.…”

Application of SMILES-based molecular generative model in new drug design

“…the generation of molecules with specific characteristics could be considered as a translation. These methods may also be useful in bio drug design, such as stem cells ( Tan et al, 2022b ), growth factors ( Tan et al, 2022c ; Tan et al, 2022d ), et al…”
