 | | It also has been evaluated in clinical trials in the U.S. for its ability to enhance neurological recovery after stroke and to minimize the effects of ischemia, or insufficient blood flow in the heart and circulatory system. | | | Paul Zamora, BioSET’s chief scientific officer, said, “We view this as a platform technology to develop analogs to many types of growth factors of current clinical interest, including those used to accelerate bone repair, treat ischemic tissue and wound healing. | | | Our studies show that the FGF analogs are active and biologically equivalent to natural FGF, and that they work in animal models of human disease. |

| | Insulin-like growth factor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Almost every cell in the human body is affected by IGF-1, especially cells in muscle, cartilage, bone, liver, kidney, nerves, skin, and lungs. | | | While IGF-2 may be primarily fetal in action it is also essential for development and function of organs such as the brain, liver and kidney. | | | IGFs are part of a complex system that cells use to communicate with their physiologic enviornment. |

| | Growth Factor Raises Cancer Risk |
| | High levels of a well-known growth factor significantly increase the risks of colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer, medical researchers have found. | | | "If further studies confirm these findings, blood levels of the growth factor and its binding protein might be used to identify people at the highest risk for these cancers and, therefore, who might benefit most from lifestyle changes and other means of prevention," says Jing Ma, an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School. | | | In children, the hormone stimulates bone growth and development of organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. |

| | Receptors |
| | There are at least several hundred distinct receptor: ligand pairs in our body, each devoted to the binding of a distinct extracellular ligand such as a growth factor to its cognate receptor. | | | This extracellular receptor domain can be viewed as having a pocket that specifically accommodates the appropriate growth factor in a lock-and-key fashion and at the same time excludes all others. | | | Such transmission of information by a protein is often termed by biochemists as a form of signal transduction. |
