## Abstract An injectable hydrogel composite consisting of oligo(poly(ethylene glycol)fumarate) (OPF) and gelatin microparticles has been developed as a novel carrier system for cells and growth factors. Rabbit marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and gelatin microparticles (MPs) loaded with insuli
## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) mediates several and sometime opposite effects in epithelial cells, inducing growth inhibition, and apoptosis but also promoting an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, which enhances cell migration and invasion. TGF‐β plays relevan
