## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) plays a central role in the development of fibrosis by stimulating extracellular matrix accumulation, and signals either directly or indirectly through types I, II, and III (TβRI, II, and III) TGF‐β receptor complexes. Ginsan, a polysaccharide ext
Human Treg and Th clones secrete the latent form of TGF-b, in which the mature TGF-b protein is bound to the latency-associated peptide (LAP), and is thereby prevented from binding to the TGF-b receptor. We previously showed that upon TCR stimulation, human Treg clones but not Th clones produce acti
Chronic renal failure is often associated with a resistance to the biologically active form of vitamin D 3 , the nuclear hormone 1␣,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (VD). The actions of VD are mediated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a ligand-dependent transcription factor that binds as a dimeric complex wi
