Abstract
Experiments on cultured cells have revealed a variety of growth factors and growth inhibitors, some of which, depending on cell type and culture conditions, act both as a growth factor and a growth inhibitor (Tucker et al. 1984;Roberts et al. 1985). The in vivo functions of growth regulatory factors are assumed to stimulate fetal and placental growth during development, to regulate growth and differentiation of continuously regenerating tissues, and to stimulate tissue repair processes (Buckley et al. 1985; Goustin et al. 1985; Masui et al. 1986). However, the molecular mechanisms which regulate the activity of growth regulators remain almost totally unsolved.
