trophic factor

A protein or small molecule that promotes the survival, growth, and differentiation of a particular cell type or group of cells.
Noun
pl: trophic factors

This term is used exclusively within biological and medical contexts, specifically in neurology and cell biology. It describes a biochemical signal that acts as a survival trigger; without these factors, certain cells undergo apoptosis, or programmed cell death. The term carries a highly technical register and is rarely used outside of scientific literature or clinical discussions.

Because it refers to a specific class of proteins or molecules, it is treated as a countable noun. Researchers typically discuss "various trophic factors" or "a specific trophic factor" when referring to different types, such as nerve growth factor (NGF) or brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
