Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) is known to mediate pleiotropic functions both inside and outside the immune system. Recent progress in this field underlines the role of TGF-b in regulatory T (Treg) cells, where it participates in both suppression and differentiation. In addition, recent inform
## Abstract Embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells and embryonic stem (ES) cells provide useful model systems for studying differentiation during early mammalian development. Previous studies have demonstrated that differentiation of two restricted mouse EC cell lines is accompanied by activation of the TG
Background: CD4 þ Foxp3 þ regulatory T cells (Treg) inhibit Tcell proliferation in vitro and are effective in suppressing colitis in mouse models. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, which is centrally involved in Crohn's disease (CD) pathogenesis, also impairs Treg function. Here we investigated the inf
