Question
Chapter 11.2, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The definition of growth factors and how they regulate the cell cycle.
Introduction:
Growth factors are the chemical signals that are received by the cells from the outside. These signals induce the cells to divide, thereby controlling the cell cycle. Erythropoietin and interleukins are a few examples of the growth factors.
