T-cell growth factor

T-cell growth factors acronym: TCGF(s) are signaling molecules collectively called growth factors which stimulate the production and development of T-cells. A number of them have been discovered, among them many members of the interleukin family. The thymus is one organ which releases TCGFs. TCGFs have been able to induce T-cell production outside the body for injection.

List of TCGFs

gollark: ?remind 29 February 16:00 Initiate Contingency δ-12.

gollark: Chemistry is just physics with multiple atoms.

gollark: Or the esolang. Hmm.

gollark: Organic Chemistry: The Game.

gollark: It's hardly very realistic. I'm sure chemists would be amazed by something which casually pokes around atoms like that.
