Differential role of mesangial cells and podocytes in TGF-ß-induced mesangial matrix synthesis in chronic glomerular disease [PDF]
, 2009 Glomerulosclerosis is characterized by mesangial matrix accumulation that is mediated primarily by activation of transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß). Unlike podocytes, mesangial cells secrete TGF-ß in response to common in vitro fibrogenic stimuli.

Transforming growth factor β1 inhibition protects from noise-induced hearing loss
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2015 Excessive exposure to noise damages the principal cochlear structures leading to hearing impairment. Inflammatory and immune responses are central mechanisms in cochlear defensive response to noise but, if unregulated, they contribute to inner ear damage
