These studies investigate the role of transforming growth factor-61, a potent inhibitor of epithelial cell proliferation and stimulator of extracellular matrix biosynthesis, during intrahepatic bile duct hyperplasia and biliary fibrosis. These pathogenic responses were induced in rats by common bile

Type beta transforming growth factor (B-TGF) is a potent growth inhibitor to many human tumor cell lines. Very little is known about the mechanism for this growth inhibitory action of B-TGF. We here report the effect of B-TGF on proliferation and epidermal growth factor receptor (R-EGF) expression i
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-P) is a polypeptide with multiple physiological functions. lsoforms of this growth factor have important roles in control of the cell cycle, in regulation of cell-cell interactions and in growth and development. Malignant transformation has been shown to be assoc
