Recently, the existence of the large latent transforming growth factor  (TGF-) complex, consisting of TGF-, the N-terminal part of its precursor (latency-associated peptide [LAP]), and the latent TGF- binding protein (LTBP), was demonstrated in rat liver parenchymal cells (PC) and stellate cells

Cytoskeleton not only controls cell morphology but also regulates cell growth, migration, differentiation, and gene expression, events which are fundamental to embryogenesis, carcinogenesis, and wound healing. We have recently reported that reorganization of cytoskeleton induces expression of mRNA f
Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-1 ), which is present in lung tissue, has been suggested to play a role in modulating vascular cell function in vivo. The action of TGF-1 in vivo, especially at the local site of application to connective tissue, is anabolic and leads to pulmonary fibrosis and
