Insulin-Like Growth Factors

A group of proteins with similar structure to insulin that play an important role in growth and development.

Protein Synthesis

The biological process through which cells generate new proteins, involving transcription of DNA into mRNA and translation of mRNA into a polypeptide chain.

Exponential Growth

A growth pattern where the rate of increase is proportional to the current size, leading to faster and faster growth over time.
