Secreted by platelets and macrophages
PDGF
What is the function of TGFß in wound repair?
Stimulates angiogenesis and fibrosis as well as cell cycle arrest
What is the function of FGF?
Stimulates all aspects of angiogenesis during wound repair
Stimulates fibrosis during wound repair
TGFß
Biopsy of a wound one week after injury would reveal a predominance of which type of cell?

Functions of PDGF
- Vascular remodeling and SMC migration
- Fibroblast growth
What is the function of MMPs during wound healing?
Tissue remodeling
Mediates vascular remodeling
PDGF
Stimulates all aspects of angiogenesis during wound repair
FGF
Stimulates cell growth by acting via tyrosine kinases
