The transforming growth factor- (TGF-) superfamily is used throughout animal development for regulating the growth and patterning of many tissue types. During the past few years, rapid progress has been made in deciphering how TGF- signals are transduced from outside the cell to the nucleus. This

## Abstract The transforming growth factor‐β (TGFβ) family represents a class of signaling molecules that plays a central role in morphogenesis, growth, and cell differentiation during normal embryonic development. Members of this growth factor family are particularly vital to development of the ma
TGFbeta signaling plays a central role in regulating a broad range of cellular responses in a variety of organisms. TGFbeta signaling from the cell membrane to the nucleus is mediated by the Smad family of proteins. During the past five years of intense investigation, key events in TGFbeta signaling
## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) signaling is known to depend on the formation of Smad2/3‐Smad4 transcription regulatory complexes. However, the signaling functions of Smad2/3‐Smad4 during TGF‐β‐induced responses are obscure as TGF‐β also initiates a number of other signaling pathwa
## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) is an important growth inhibitor of epithelial cells, and insensitivity to this cytokine results in uncontrolled cell proliferation and can contribute to tumorigenesis. Smad2 and Smad3 are direct mediators of TGF‐β signaling, however little is kno
TGFbeta inducible early gene (TIEG) is a novel Krüppel-like transcriptional repressor that was recently shown to increase the activity of the TGFbeta/Smad signal transduction pathway by relieving negative feedback through repression of the inhibitory Smad7. Interestingly, while Smad7 is required for
