Process of Proliferation Signals by GF – Produced locally or circulating in serum Non specific (TGF-ά), specific (PDGF ) Bind with ECM protein – Displayed at site of injury Changes in gene expression – drive cells to S phase, synthesis of substances needed for division 8 Growth Factors Epidermal GF Platelets derived GF Fibroblast GF Vascular endothelial GF Cytokine (IL-1, TNF) TGF-alpha
