Introduction[edit | edit source]
Growth factors, now considered as a subset of cytokines, are the diffusible signaling proteins that stimulate cell growth, differentiation, survival, inflammation, and tissue repair. They can be secreted by neighboring cells, distant tissues and glands, or cancer cells themselves. Normal cells show a requirement for several growth factors to maintain proliferation and viability. Growth advantage is often found for the cells which secrete a growth factor.[1]
Growth factors are important in both normal physiological processes for example wound healing and abnormal processes for example cancer and diabetic retinopathy[2].
