FGF-b( FGF-2, rh(sh)-Polypeptides-11) is 17.1 kDa, β trefoil structure polypeptides.

Main 2 Fuctions
1. FGFs are multifunctional proteins with a wide variety of effects; they are most commonly mitogens but also have regulatory, morphological, and endocrine effects.- developmental processes include mesoderm induction, anterior-posterior patterning,[8] limb development, neural induction and neural development,[16] and in mature tissues/systems angiogenesis, keratinocyte organization, and wound healing processes
2.FGF1 and FGF2 stimulate angiogenesis and the proliferation of fibroblasts that give rise to granulation tissue ( FGF1 and FGF2 are more potent angiogenic factors than vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)).
3. Others –

Mechanism 
1. FGF binds with Heparan sulfate(Heparan Sulfate ProteoGlycan,HSPG) and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR).
2. These unique features, as well as the role of the intracellular pool of FGF1 and FGF2, are far from being fully understood. 

Usage
1. Dysregulation of the FGF signalling system underlies a range of diseases associated with the increased FGF expression. Inhibitors of FGF signalling have shown clinical efficacy.
2. Some FGF ligands (particularly FGF2) have been demonstrated to enhance tissue repair (e.g. skin burns, grafts, and ulcers) in a range of clinical settings.

PDGF(Platelet-derived growth factor- a,b,  rh(sh)-Polypeptide-8,59)

Structure
PDGFs are five isoforms, 32~35 kDa.  disulfide-linked Dimeric Glycoprotein(2 subunit)
PDGF-AA (PDGFA), -BB (PDGFB), -CC (PDGFC), and -DD (PDGFD), and -AB (a PDGFA and PDGFB heterodimer)

Main 2 Fuctions 
1. PDGFs are mitogenic during early developmental stages, driving the proliferation of undifferentiated  mesenchyme  and some progenitor populations.
2. During later maturation stages, PDGF signalling has been implicated in tissue remodelling and cellular differentiation, and in inductive events involved in patterning and morphogenesis.
3. Others –

Mechanism 
1. PDGFs binds with PDGFRs(two tyrosine kinase receptor, a &b type) and HSPG
2. “switched on” by auto-phosphorylation
3. gene expression and protein synthesis

Usage
1. chronic ulcers and in orthopedic surgery and periodontics as an alternative to bone autograft to stimulate bone regeneration and repair.
2. Many Organogenesis

 Niacin-amide

1, Niacin-amide collects melanin pigment synthesized in melanocytes and blocks the transfer of “Melanosome”, a non-pocket, to keratinocytes by 35%~68%.

2. Niacin-amide synthesizes collagen by promoting “m-RNA transcription” that synthesizes collagen in the dermal layer.
3. Niacin-amide promotes the proliferation of keratinocytes by activating “mKGF”. It is accompanied by effects such as reducing pores, suppressing sebum excretion, and relieving acne.
GLUTATHIONE
1. In the process of synthesizing melanin in melanocytes, it synthesizes “Pheomelanin”, which is a pink (middle of red and yellow) melanin pigment instead of black melanin pigment.
2. It is difficult to pass through the cell membrane, but once it passes, it becomes the center of strong antioxidant by “continuously recycling hydrogen”.
3. Combining with lead, which is the main cause of cosmetic poisoning, is discharged and can increase the intensity of tumor treatment by protecting normal cells during chemotherapy.
