What Are the Challenges in Using Growth Factors Therapeutically?
Despite their therapeutic potential, several challenges are associated with using growth factors:
Dosage Control: Maintaining the appropriate dose is critical to avoid overstimulation of cell growth, which could lead to tumorigenesis. Delivery Mechanisms: Effective delivery to the target tissue is essential, which often requires sophisticated delivery systems. Individual Variability: Genetic and environmental factors can influence individuals' responses to growth factor therapies, complicating treatment protocols.
