HGF Accelerates Wound Healing by Promoting the Dedifferentiation of Epidermal Cells through β1-Integrin/ILK Pathway

Skin wound healing is a critical and complex biological process after trauma. This process is activated by signaling pathways of both epithelial and nonepithelial cells, which release a myriad of different cytokines and growth factors. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a cytokine known to play multi...
