There are a number of different types of growth factors contained in platelets.^67–69 These growth factors are polypeptides, accounting not only for tissue and organ morphogenesis (from shortly after human conception to adulthood) but also for cell differentiation and proliferation. Their crucial activity in cell healing makes them especially important to current research in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (Fig 1-5). The growth factors that have received the most attention from medical researchers and practitioners include PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB, and PDGF-AB; TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3; fibroblastic growth factor (FGF); IGF; EGF; and VEGF.
