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
Retinoic acid (RA) induces the activation of latent transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) via enhancement of cellular plasminogen activator (PA)/plasmin levels. The resultant TGF-b suppresses the excessive fibrinolytic activity by decreasing PA expression an
