Growth factors and receptors : a practical approach /
Growth factors are extra-cellular molecules that interact with receptors on the cell surface to initiate a sequence of events culminating in transcription of DNA prior to cell division. Disturbances in the production of growth factors or the sensitivity of their receptors are important in tumour gro...
