## Abstract ## Objective As an initial approach to understanding the basis of the systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) phenotype, we sought to identify genes in the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathway that are up‐regulated in lesional SSc fibroblasts relative to their normal cou

## Abstract ## Objective The principal effect of transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) on mesenchymal cells is its stimulation of extracellular matrix synthesis. Previous reports indicated the significance of the autocrine TGFβ loop in the pathogenesis of scleroderma. The aim of this study was to
## Abstract Embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells and embryonic stem (ES) cells provide useful model systems for studying differentiation during early mammalian development. Previous studies have demonstrated that differentiation of two restricted mouse EC cell lines is accompanied by activation of the TG
