Transforming growth factor-β€s (TGFβ€s) play a prominent role in tumour growth and metastasis by enhancing angiogenesis and suppressing immune surveillance. Despite the increased interest in the effect of TGFβ€s on tumour progression, little is known about the importance of TGFβ€3 and its receptor CD105
The majority of ocular melanomas occur in the uveal tract. Chemotherapy is generally ineffective and large tumours requiring enucleation have a greater than 50% mortality at 5 years. Monosomy for chromosome 3 is common in uveal melanoma and it is known that there is loss of responsiveness to transfo
The progression of breast cancer depends on the establishment of a neovasculature, by a process called angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is an invasive cellular event that requires the co-ordination of numerous molecules including growth factors and their receptors, extracellular proteins, adhesion molecul
