In this study we have examined the relationship between growth factor-induced proliferation and ODC/polyamine levels. TGF beta promotes cell growth and enhances [3H]-thymidine incorporation in chick embryo fibroblasts maintained in a serum-depleted medium. The action on DNA synthesis declines in the
## Objective: In fibroblasts, transforming growth factor beta (tgf beta) stimulates collagen synthesis and myofibroblast transdifferentiation through the smad intracellular signal transduction pathway. tgf beta-mediated fibroblast activation is the hallmark of scleroderma and related fibrotic condi
The profound effects of transforming growth factor b1 (TGF-b1) on the immune system, cardiogenesis, in yolk sac hematopoeisis and in differentiation of endothelium have been demonstrated by detailed analyses of TGF-b1 knockout mice during embryogenesis. We have systematically examined the autocrine
