Human Growth Factor Releasing Factor
Human growth hormone (HGH) releasing factor stimulates the synthesis and release of HGH. A sculpture representing the releasing factor and the soluble domain of its receptor was installed at ESD-Serono in January, 2012. The sculpture, made of stainless steel and mound on a cherry base joins three other of Serono protein drug products on the lobby of their Rockland, MA research facility. The sculpture stands 7 feet above its wooden base and matches predecessors in style and scale.
