They are produced by cells and bind to receptors on the surface of other cells.

This protein can block the growth of new blood vessels, which can inhibit the growth of tumors. It can also block the growth of new cells in other tissues, which can lead to tissue damage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Growth_Factors\"><\/span>Types of Growth Factors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are three main types of growth factors:<\/p>\n<p>1.
