Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at West China Second University Hospital in Chengdu, China, explores the role of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). BPD is a condition characterized by impaired lung development and abnormal repair mechanisms. The study highlights the importance of HGF in promoting cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and alveolarization, as well as its role in maintaining the integrity of the alveolar structure. The researchers discuss the interaction between HGF and various growth factors in lung development and BPD, forming a signaling network with HGF as a central hub. [Extracted from the article]
