University of California, San Francisco, USA.

This article is a comprehensive overview of tympanic membrane injury and its healing. Its wound healing process is unique from soft tissue because epithelialization occurs before fibrous tissue advancement. Contemporary and future modalities to improve tympanic membrane repair are also discussed in this article.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.
