Mature blood cells are derived from haemopoietic stem cells which grow and proliferate to give rise to progenitor cells more restricted in their proliferation and differentiation capacity. These in turn give rise to cells belonging to any of the haemopoietic lineages. The haemopoietic growth factors

Growth factors (GFs) are a class of proteins that bind to specific cell surface receptors (GF-Rs), inducing a variety of responses including mitosis, in susceptible target cells. Abnormal production, expression, and/or function of GFs or GF-Rs can result in unregulated growth, the hallmark of malign
## BACKGROUND. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been identified as an important factor for tumor angiogenesis, which is essential for the growth, invasion, and metastasis of solid tumors. This study examines the clinical significance of VEGF subtypes in ovarian carcinoma. ## METHODS.
Many of the haemopoietic cell growth factors have now been purijied to homogeneity and their structural genes cloned. Methodr are also now available for obtainingpure populations of haemopoietic cells. The use of such cells, in combination with pure growth factors, has provided intriguing informatio
