Premature birth disrupts normal lung development and places infants at risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a disease increasing in incidence which disrupts lung health throughout the lifespan.
We have found several genetic changes in the TGF-beta-type II receptor gene in human gastric cancer cell lines resistant to the growth inhibitory effect of TGF-beta. Southern blot analysis showed dele
The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily proteins are principle regulators of numerous biological functions. Although recent studies have gained tremendous insights into this growth factor
