At least one member of the TGF-P family, TGF-p1, has been previously shown to inhibit the anchorage-independent growth of some human breast cancer cell lines (Knabbe et al., 1487; Arteaga et al., 1988). Members of the TGF-P family might, [herefore, provide new strategies for breast cancer therapy. W

Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b1) is a potent negative regulator of cell growth that transduces signals through interactions with type I and II receptors. Abnormal expression and mutational alterations of these receptors have been observed in several human malignancies. In this study, we investi
## Objective: The ability of growth factors to modulate integrin expression may be important with regard to processes involved in tissue repair and remodeling. this study was undertaken to determine the effect of transforming growth factor beta (tgf beta) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (igf-1) on
Forty-three sporadic gastric cancers were analyzed with regard to whether mutations of simple repeated sequences in the transforming growth factor fi type II receptor ( T p -I / ) gene are associated with microsatellite instability (MSI) and gastric carcinogenesis. In 12 ofthe 43 cancers (28%), MSI
