Endocrinology of Growth and Growth Factors

Connective Tissue Research, 1995
This review discusses normal growth patterns and the appropriate use of preprinted growth curves. The important roles of thyroid and growth hormone in the modulation of growth are delineated. I present an approach to the evaluation and proper management of children and adolescents with short stature and poor growth.

Cytokines and Growth Factors

2019
Several cytokines have been used to treat autoimmune diseases, viral infections, and cancer and to regenerate the skin. In particular, interferons (INFs) have been used to treat cancer, hepatitis B and C, and multiple sclerosis, while interleukins (ILs) and tumor necrosis factors (TNFs) have been used in the management of different types of cancer ...

Growth Factors and Growth Factor Inhibitors

1997
This chapter will outline novel treatment strategies predicated on the modulation of growth factor or cytokine-mediated signal transduction pathways. Several excellent recent monographs have addressed this tissue from the point of view of inhibitors of individual pathway constituents (1,2).The current focus will be on defining the pathways potentially ...

Growth Hormone, Growth Factors and Hematopoiesis

Hormone Research, 1996
Hypocellularity of primary lymphoid organs is a distinctive and reproducible characteristic of aged humans and animals. Similar changes have been reported in both hypophysectomized and dwarf rodents. In the bone marrow of these animals, there is an associated reduction in the number of erythroid, lymphoid and myeloid elements.

Growth factors and growth factor receptors.

British journal of hospital medicine, 1993
Peptide growth factors and their cell surface-associated receptors are important determinants of normal and pathological growth reactions. Through signal transduction pathways, receptor occupancy triggers the production of intracellular downstream effector molecules which ultimately cause cell proliferation.

Growth factors and angiogenesis

Cardiovascular Research, 1993
The list of growth factors with angiogenic potential is growing. It is not clear why so many factors with angiogenic potential exist, although Folkman postulated that this apparent redundancy is indicative of the essential nature of the angiogenic response. Additionally, these factors or their close relatives have other biological activities, including

Epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor α

Baillière's Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1991
I have attempted here to outline the basic biochemical knowledge that we have now secured on the EGF family of proteins. In the future we will learn much more about the differential role of EGF versus TGF-alpha, about the physiological significance of amphiregulin, the newest member of this family, and about the roles of TGF-alpha and amphiregulin in ...
