Other mitogenic factors for endometriosis cells are involved, such as angiogenin, platelet-derived endothelial growth factor (PEGF), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MMIF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) [2,5,7,14]. The gene discussed is HGF; the disease is endometriosis.
