Objective To review the expression of mechano-growth factor (MGF) and its roles in tissue repairs and
regeneration. Methods The l iterature about the expression of MGF and its roles in tissue repairs and regeneration in recent
years was reviewed. Results MGF is sensitive to mechanical stimulation and can be expressed in various tissues/cells. MGF is
responsible for satell ite cell activation, myoblast proliferation, and plays important roles in the treatment of muscle coloboma,
prevention of myocardial injury, and neuroprotection. Conclusion The important role of MGF in tissue repairs and
regeneration has been identified, however, the detailed mechanisms remain unclear up to now and still need a further study.
