Abstract: Lactoferrin(LF) belongs to the transferrin family and is a multifunctional glycoprotein with a variety of biological activities, which not only binds to viral antigenic determinants to inhibit the recognition and binding of viruses to host cells,but also inhibits cell carcinogenesis through the production of thiobarbituric acid, malondialdehyde and other substances with strong antioxidant properties. In recent years, it has been found that in addition to its antiviral and anti-inflammatory functions, LF also has the ability to promote the repair of various types of damaged tissues. This paper mainly reviews the repairing and pro-repairing effects of LF after skin, muscle, bone, intestinal, brain and gingival injuries, aiming to elucidate the further application prospects of LF in the medical field.
