In an earlier work a model of the autocrine and paracrine pathways of tumor growth control was developed (Michelson and Leith. 1991. Autocrine and paracrine growth factors in tumor growth.

Transforming growth factors (TGFs) are peptides that affect the growth and phenotype of cultured cells and bring about in nonmalignant fibroblastic cells phenotypic properties that resemble those of malignant cells. Two types of TGFs have been well characterized. One of these, TGFa, is related to ep
For many permanent cell lines the transition from a growing (P) to a resting (R) state is reversibly controlled by growth factors present in serum. This P-to-R transition was studied in a neuronal cell line (B104) with respect to the action of serum, dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DBcAMP), gangliosides, and
