title: Molecular aspects of growth factor action: receptors and intracellular signals.
abstract: An increasing number of factors have been described which influence the proliferative responses of normal and neoplastic cells. A review of such moieties, their occurrence and possible mechanisms of their action and interaction is presented together with a discussion of their potential importance in the genesis and progression of neoplasms.
