Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming growth factor-β controls receptor levels for epidermal growth factor in NRK fibroblasts

TL;DR: A mechanism of growth control is described in which bioactive peptides act coordinately through a regulatory effect on the number of cell-surface receptors through a selective synthetic mechanism underlies TGF-beta action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoxia upregulates the synthesis of tgf-β1 by human dermal fibroblasts

TL;DR: It is concluded that low oxygen tension upregulates the synthesis of TGF-β1 by human dermal fibroblasts, and leads to increased secretion of this peptide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complementary Deoxyribonucleic Acid Cloning of a Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Encoding Transforming Growth Factor β 4 from Chicken Embryo Chondrocytes

TL;DR: Using a human transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta) cDNA probe, an RNA species migrating at about 1.7 kilobases in cultured primary chicken embryo chondrocytes is detected that is distinct from chicken TGF beta 1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colocalization of TGF-beta 1 and collagen I and III, fibronectin and glycosaminoglycans during lung branching morphogenesis

TL;DR: The results indicate colocalization of TGF-beta 1 expression and that of matrix proteins in the developing lung when branching morphogenesis (cleft formation) and tissue stabilization occur, and suggests a direct participation of the growth factor in the development of the basic architecture of the lung.
