Re: Broadcast TV Fee. Pretty much everyone on cable tv pays the Broadcast TV fee, and it's not just particular to Comcast. Broadcast stations [your local stations] charge the cable companies fees to carry their programs. In turn, cable companies pass those fees along to the customers. All cable tiers carry the broadcast channels. So, basically, yes, you'll be paying that $5 Broadcast TV fee.
Growth factors are organized into three categories. Some bacteria (e.g. E. coli) do not require any growth factors: they can synthesize all essential purines, pyrimidines, amino acids and vitamins, starting with their carbon source, as part of their own intermediary metabolism.
Insulin-like growth factor. The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are polypeptides with high sequence similarity to insulin. IGFs are part of a complex system that cells use to communicate with their physiologic environment. Studies of recent interest show that the IGF axis play an important role in aging.
