Growth factors—proteins regulating the divisions and differentiations of cells—involved in asthma include: Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), Transforming Growth Factors (TGFs), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)—described in more detail in this article—and other.
