Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) β and Endometrial Vascular Maturation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Appropriate growth and development of the endometrium across the menstrual cycle is key for a woman’s quality of life and reproductive well-being. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) affect a significant proportion of the ...

EGF and TGF-β1 effects on thyroid function [PDF]
, 2011 Normal epithelial thyroid cells in culture are inhibited by TGF-β1. Instead, transformed thyroid cell lines are frequently resistant to its growth inhibitory effect. Loss of TGF-β responsiveness could be due to a reduced expression of TGF-β receptors, as
