Retinoblastoma cells are resistant to transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) activity due to the absence of TGF-b binding. To further elucidate the mechanism of TGF-b resistance, we studied the expression of the TGF-b receptors and SMADs by using the Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 retinoblastoma cell lines. Bindin

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a growth modulator that inhibits the proliferation of many epithelial cells through interaction with its receptors, the type I and type II receptors (TGF-beta RI and RII) by activating their serine/threonine kinase activities. Loss of growth inhibition b
## Transforming growth factor  (TGF) regulates the cell cycle and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition of many cells in vitro. We have analysed chimaeric mouse embryos generated from embryonic stem cells with abnormal receptor expression to study the effect of TGF on these processes in vivo an
To analyze transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) response during MCF-7 cell progression, early passage (MCF-7E, õ200 passage) and late passage (MCF-7L, ú 500 passage) cells were compared. MCF-7E cells showed an IC 50 of Ç10 ng/ ml of TGF-b1, whereas MCF-7L cells were insensitive. MCF-7E cells contain
