Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) is normally secreted in a latent form, and plasmin-mediated proteolytic cleavage of latency-associated peptide (LAP), a component of latent TGF-b complex that makes the complex inactive, activates latent TGF-b. In the present study, we investigated the possible i

At first reading the statement "TCFP stimulates bone formation but inhibits mineralization" may appear to be an oxymoron. However, the bone formation process can take weeks to months to complete, and the unique properties of TGFP allow this factor to be stored in bone matrix in a latent form, ready
