Growth Factor Defined
Organic compounds that must be supplied in the diet for growth because they are essential cell components or precursors of such components and cannot be synthesized by the organisms themselves.
This definition is in context to Microbiology. See more contextual defintions for Growth Factor.
New Study Finds Growth Factor Boosts Productivity in Mammalian Cell Culture
Published October 10, 2008, 11:18 am, PR Newswire via Yahoo! Finance
A recently published study in the scientific journal In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology revealed that recombinant lactoferrin is a strong growth factor for promoting cell growth and cell productivity across a variety of cell lines, including intestinal cells, hybridoma cells, osteoblast cells and embryonic kidney cells.
What Is The Pathogenesis Of Liver Damage Induced By Ethanol?
Published October 8, 2008, 1:08 pm, Medical News Today
They investigated the effects of ethanol on the IGF-I system with the involvement of JNK1/2 activity and ADH by using each chemical inhibitor in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. The results indicate that ethanol inducedp-JNK1/2 activation is associated with the IGF-I system and cell viability in hepatocytes.
Journal Of Biological Chemistry Article Gives Insight Into Molecular Mechanisms That Influence Tumor Progression And ...
Published October 8, 2008, 5:07 am, Medical News Today
The research group led by the University of Nebraska Medical Center's Tony Hollingsworth, Ph.D., is known to tackle complex scientific problems. Their latest discovery sheds light on how tumor cells interact and survive during the process of metastasis, when they end up in unusual environments (such as when a cell from the pancreas colonizes the liver).
New Diagnostic Test For Rare Leukemia Appears To Give Faster Results, Study Finds
Published October 7, 2008, 5:08 pm, Science Daily
A new twist on a well-known cell sorting technique may allow physicians to diagnose rare leukemias in hours instead of weeks, according to new study. The clinical promise of the Stanford-developed approach, which eavesdrops on individual cells to decipher potentially dangerous molecular conversations, is likely to extend to many other disorders in which cell-signaling pathways are disrupted.

Revealing Metastatic Movements In 3-D
Published October 7, 2008, 5:06 am, Medical News Today
Caswell et al.report in the Journal of Cell Biology how the altered behavior of integrins can prompt metastatic movement in tumor cells. On 2D surfaces, cells may migrate randomly, or be strongly unidirectional. Integrins, which link the cell to the extracellular matrix, are known to influence the mode of migration, but exactly how has been unclear.
Editorial: UT Needs Relief from Top 10% Rule

- Palms Can Foretell Cancer: Curling, Thickening of Palm May Mean Cancer of Ovaries, Prostate, Other Types. The symptoms: curling or thickening of the palm with swelling of the fingers, making the hand look wooden. It's called PFPAS -- palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis syndrome. PFPAS has been linked not only to cancer of the ovaries, but also to cancers of the prostate, blood, lung, breast, and pancreas. What's the link? Researchers aren't sure. Stratton and colleagues suggest that a chemical signal in the body, called connective tissue growth factor or CTGF, might play a role.
