Question

Growth factors promoting proliferation of animal cells

Answer 1

Growth factors are important natural substances that help in stimulating cellular growth and helps in other processes like proliferation, differentiation, etc. Most growth hormones act specific to their appropriate proteins, like the hormones and cytokines.

The most important cytokines that help in cell proliferation are -  the G-CSF (Granulocyte Colony stimulating factor) and the GM-CSF (Granulocyte macrophage Colony stimulating factor).

Answer 2

The most important cytokines which help in cell proliferation are - the G-CSF granulocyte Colony stimulating factor and the GM-CSF granulocyte macrophage Colony stimulating factor.

A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance which iscapable of stimulating cellular growth, proliferation, healing, and cellular differentiation. Usually it is a protein or a steroid hormone. Growth factors are important for regulating a variety of cellular processes.
