Humoral regulation of somatic and hematopoietic cell growth has been intensely investigated during the past decade. Growth hormone is unique because it regulates the size of the person within the constraints of the genetic program. The somatomedins and insulin growth factors are low molecular weight polypeptides believed to mediate some functions of ...

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor
Definitions, 2020A family of growth factors that act as potent mitogens and are involved in the stimulation of angiogenesis. There are four members of this family (platelet-derived growth factor A, B, C and D) that are characterized by a core motif of eight cysteines ...

Growth factors are polypeptides that interact with specific cellular receptors leading to many different biological responses. There are various families of growth factors that have similar biochemical structures. Although many growth factors stimulate cell proliferation, a few have primarily inhibitory functions, such as transforming growth factor-p ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the structure of nerve growth factor (NGF). The amino acid sequence of mouse NGF exhibited significant structural relatedness with the family of insulins and proinsulins. The sequence of mouse NGF could be aligned with human proinsulin with only five deletions required to yield the maximum homology of 21 ...

Recent studies have provided new insights on the identity and mechanisms of action of growth factors implicated in myelination processes. Members of several different families of growth factors have been shown to affect oligodendrocyte survival, proliferation and differentiation and their manipulation in the experimental animal provides a means to ...

Recombinant human growth factors are expected to have a significant impact on the use of allogeneic blood components. For example, subsequent to the approval of recombinant human erythropoietin, blood transfusions in renal dialysis patients declined substantially.

British Medical Bulletin, 1989
The existence of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) was proposed over 40 years ago to account for the ability of tissue extracts to stimulate fibroblast proliferation. In the 1970s it became clear that preparations containing FGF activity were in fact pleiotropic, affecting the growth and function of a wide variety of mesenchymal, endocrine and neural ...

Progress in Growth Factor Research, 1991
The role of polypeptide growth factors in cardiovascular ontogeny, function, and pathologic states is poorly understood. Recent investigations demonstrate that the myocardium produces both known and novel growth factors, which are highly regulated during development and disease, and have suggested that peptide growth factors may direct cardiac ...

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1991
The role of growth factors in development is under analysis on three main fronts: examination of patterns of growth factor expression in embryogenesis, studies of biological activity in vitro, and mutational analysis in vivo. Recent findings indicate that growth factors control developmental decisions, are strictly controlled in their delivery to ...
