Epidermal growth factor molecule C015 / 5925
Epidermal growth factor. Molecular model of human epidermal growth factor (EGF, green) complexed with its receptor (pink). EGF plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation and differentiation. Overexpression of the EGF receptor in a number of tissues leads to cancer. Due to tthis, the receptor is a target for a number of anti-cancer drugs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) molecule, specifically the EGF receptor complexed with its receptor. The vibrant green color represents the EGF molecule, while the delicate pink hue symbolizes its receptor. Against a striking black background, this illustration highlights the crucial role that EGF plays in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. However, an alarming consequence of overexpression of the EGF receptor in various tissues is cancer development. This revelation has led to intensive research and exploration of anti-cancer drugs targeting this specific receptor. Scientists have recognized it as a potential breakthrough in oncology treatments. The artwork beautifully captures not only the structural intricacies but also conveys important biological information about this significant protein. It serves as a reminder of how understanding cellular regulation at such minute levels can have profound implications for human health. With its emphasis on biochemistry and cell biology, this image appeals to both scientific enthusiasts and professionals within these fields alike. Its inclusion of terms like tyrosine kinase, proteomics, and cell differentiation further demonstrates its relevance in cutting-edge research areas. Overall, Laguna Design/Science Photo Library's stunning portrayal invites viewers into the fascinating world of molecular biology while shedding light on critical advancements made towards combating cancer through targeted therapies against epidermal growth factor receptors.
