## Background: Transforming growth factor (tgf)-beta has been shown to be a potent stimulator of collagen production by fibroblasts, and could play a role in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (ssc). ## Objective: To study the possible involvement of tgf-beta1 gene polymorphism in japanese pa
In an effort to identify genetic polymorphisms in potential candidate genes for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we have sequenced the transforming growth factor beta-induced gene (TGFBI), and examined the association with T2DM and diabetic phenotypes in a Korean T2DM study (775 T2DM patients and 31
Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) plays a central role in a wide array of cellular functions including control of cell growth and differentiation, embryonic development, wound healing, angiogenesis, and immune regulation. In the gastrointestinal tract, TGF-b can either promote or suppress inflamm
## Abstract ## Background Previous studies have suggested a role for transforming growth factor (TGF) β and its receptor in thoracic aortic aneurysm, but their role in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is unknown. This study examined the possible association between TGF-β receptor 1 and 2 (TGFBR-1 a
