What: "Proliferating an-
imal cells also require mitogens. Mitogens are like growth
factors, but function to activate intracellular pathways,

# 3078 Critique Analogy
METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
