## Abstract Transforming growth factorβΞ² (TGFβΞ²) family members are polypeptides with dual tumor suppressive and oncogenic effects. They signal through serine/threonine kinase receptor complexes, which phosphorylate cytoplasmic mediators, the Smads. Upon phosphorylation, Smads translocate to the nu

## Abstract A substance chemotactic for cancer cells was extracted from the pseudoglobulin fraction of some tumor tissues of animal and human origin. It was highly purified by column chromatography using Sephadex Gβ50 and CMβSephadex and then by disc electrophoresis; it behaved as a homogenous subs
## Abstract A substance chemotactic for tumor cells was isolated from some tumor tissues of animal and human origin and highly purified. It induced an extravascular emigration of circulating tumor cells on experimental injection, but no emigration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The emigrated tumo
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a relatively low grade neoplasm, classically occurring in the skin of elderly men. A more virulent and invasive form of Kaposi's sarcoma has been described in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The origin and identification of the tumor cells in these
