What Does GDF Stand For?
GDF stands for Growth Differentiation Factor
GDF, or Growth Differentiation Factor, refers to a group of proteins that play a crucial role in regulating cellular growth, differentiation, and development. These factors are involved in various biological processes, including tissue repair, embryonic development, and the modulation of immune responses. GDFs are significant in research and clinical applications, particularly in understanding diseases like cancer and fibrosis, as well as in regenerative medicine. Their ability to influence cellular behavior makes them important targets for therapeutic interventions.
