Transforming growth factor- (TGF-) is a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation. This study investigated whether overexpression of Smad7, which blocks TGF--induced activation of Smad2/3, could prevent the suppression of regeneration of small-for-size liver grafts. Rats were intravenously given ade
Re-infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an important development after liver transplantation (LT); it can lead to graft fibrosis. The aim of this study was to assess the role of transforming growth factor b1 (TGF-b1) polymorphisms in the development of HCV-related graft disease by evaluatin
