Transforming growth factor b1 (TGF-b1) belongs to a family of multifunctional modulatory proteins involved in cell growth, differentiation, development, and wound healing. Although the biological activities of TGF-b1 have been extensively studied, its regulation remains obscure. Here we report the e

## Abstract ## Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of the overexpression of transforming growth factor β receptors (TGFβRs) in dermal fibroblasts from patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). ## Methods Dermal fibroblasts from 7 patients with diffuse SSc of recent onset and from 7 he
## Abstract ## Objective As an initial approach to understanding the basis of the systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) phenotype, we sought to identify genes in the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathway that are up‐regulated in lesional SSc fibroblasts relative to their normal cou
Cytoskeleton not only controls cell morphology but also regulates cell growth, migration, differentiation, and gene expression, events which are fundamental to embryogenesis, carcinogenesis, and wound healing. We have recently reported that reorganization of cytoskeleton induces expression of mRNA f
