Effect of Surgical Flap on IL-1β and TGF-β Concentrations in the Gingival Crevicular Fluid of Patients with Moderate to Severe Chronic Periodontitis [PDF]
Background: Growth factors play a major part in wound healing in many tissues including the periodontium. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is one of these factors present in the gingival crevicular fluid.

Increased matrix synthesis following adenoviral transfer of a transforming growth factor beta1 gene into articular chondrocytes [PDF]
Monolayer cultures of lapine articular chondrocytes were transduced with first-generation adenoviral vectors carrying lacZ or transforming growth factor β1 genes under the transcriptional control of the human cytomegalovirus early promoter.

Effects of Environmental Moduls and TGF-?1 Surface Concentration on Aortic Valvular Interstitial Cell Activation [PDF]
Valvular Interstitial Cells (VICs) are the predominant cell population of mammalian heart valves. When the valve is damaged, VICs become activated to a myofibroblastic state and secrete a variety of matrix molecules in order to repair the valve structure.

The regulation of placental pericyte function through transforming growth factor β-1 signalling
In the placenta, fetal-derived pericytes wrap the villous capillaries, directly interacting with endothelial cells to orchestrate the branching angiogenesis required to meet the demands of the growing fetus.
