Description
This title examines the critical role of growth factors in normal as well as abnormal cellular growth and function. Significant advances in reproductive biology are highlighted by focusing upon growth factors as the polyfunctional regulators of growth and development in the reproductive system. Information of interest to both scientists and clinicians is outlined, with respect to cellular actions of growth factors, their unique regulatory roles in developing and differentiated cell systems, and their involvement in the neoplastic transformation of steroid target cells.
