Summary. Platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) is thought to play some role in the genesis of fibrosis associated with myeloproliferative disorders. In addition, transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) has been confirmed to promote fibrotic process. Both PDGF and TGF‐β have been shown to cooperate with epidermal growth factor (EGF) in regulating the growth of human marrow fibroblasts. All three are contained in platelet α‐granules.
