  • Re: Bone growth

    Dear Kaf,
    The bone growth specification is depended to some
    complex molecules such as IGFs (Internal Growth
    Factors), TGFs (Transforming Growth Factors), etc.
    which are secreted in a very slight amounts. The
    amount of this moleculs and the end organ responses
    have a genetic basis. There are plenty of theories
    which try to describe the mechanisms but as far as I
    know, the exact mechanism is not agreed. The answer of
    your second question is the same. I recommend you
    referring to the Immunology and Biochemistry
    references.
    Best regards.
