This two-volume treatise, the collected effort of more than 50
authors, represents the first comprehensive survey of the chemistry
and biology of the set of molecules known as peptide growth
factors. Although there have been many symposia on this topic, and
numerous publications of reviews dealing with selected subsets of
growth factors, the entire field has never been covered in a single
treatise. It is essential to do this at the present time, as the
number of journal articles on peptide growth factors now makes it
almost impossible for anyone person to stay informed on this
subject by reading the primary literature. At the same time it is
becoming increasingly apparent that these of universal importance
in biology and medicine and that the substances are original
classification of these molecules, based on the laboratory setting
of their discovery, as "growth factors," "lymphokines,"
"cytokines," or "colony stimulating factors," was quite
artifactual; they are in fact the basis of a com mon language for
intercellular communication. As a set they affect essentially every
cell in the body, and in this regard they provide the basis to
develop a unified science of cell biology, germane to all of
biomedical research. This treatise is divided into four main
sections. After three introductory chapters, its principal focus is
the detailed description of each of the major peptide growth
factors in 26 individual chapters."
