Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming Growth Factor Beta-1 in Acute Myocardial Infarction in Rats

TL;DR: A significant role for TGF-beta in the response of the heart to injury is indicated, as shown by the results of immunohistochemical staining and Northern blot analysis of mRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming growth factor-beta. Major role in regulation of extracellular matrix.

TL;DR: The ability of TGF-β to improve and/or accelerate tissue repair has been studied extensively in a variety of animal models of both normal and impaired healing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming growth factor-beta. Multiple actions and potential clinical applications.

TL;DR: TGF-β was identified originally in an assay that measured its ability to enhance the growth of fibroblasts in soft agar ("transformation"), its true importance is as a mediator of normal cellular physiology, in particular during normal formation of tissues and during tissue response to injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

The transforming growth factor-betas: past, present, and future.

TL;DR: The present volume on transforming growth factor-betas (TGF-0s) provides a summation of the current excitement in research on this family of peptides and briefly summarizes the present range of E F p studies.
