Factor
A financial institution that buys a firm's accounts receivable and collects the accounts.

Factor
A third party that buys a firm's accounts receivable. If a firm is not confident in its ability to collect on its credit sales, it may sell the right to receive payment to the factor at a discount. The factor then assumes the credit risk associated with the accounts receivable. This provides the firm immediate access to working capital, which is important, especially if the firm has a cash flow problem. The price of factoring is determined by the creditworthiness of the firm's customer, not of the firm itself. It is also known as accounts receivable financing.

factor
A firm that purchases accounts receivable from another firm at a discount. The purchasing firm then attempts to collect the receivables.

To sell accounts receivable to another party at a discount from face value. Thus, a firm in need of cash to pay down short-term debt may decide to factor its accounts receivable to another firm.

Researchers have identified a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF, responsible for the cell overgrowth in the development of polyps.
Both PLP and HGF prevented the thickening of rat peritoneum induced by PD and ameliorated accumulation of AGE and expression of TGF-beta1, vascular endothelial growth factor, and type 1 collagen and a number of blood vessels.
Earlier work hinted that it facilitates the activity of a family of proteins called vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), which dock onto other cell receptors.
