Extracellular Vesicles and Transforming Growth Factor β Signaling in Cancer
Complexity in mechanisms that drive cancer development and progression is exemplified by the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling pathway, which suppresses early-stage hyperplasia, yet assists aggressive tumors to achieve metastasis.

THU0271 SERUM LEVELS OF TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR î‘ (TGF-î‘) IN PATIENTS WITH PRIMARY SJÖGREN'S SYNDROME [PDF]
Background Primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease affecting primarily exocrine, especially salivary, glands. The epithelial damage, autoantigens release, activation of innate and acquired immunity form the underlaying of the pSS pathogenesis. The main role in pSS is played by B-lymphocytes and production of autoantibodies.

Regulation of transforming growth factor-β signalling by SUMOylation and its role in fibrosis
Fibrosis is an abnormal healing process that only repairs the structure of an organ after injury and does not address damaged functions. The pathogenesis of fibrosis is multifactorial and highly complex; numerous signalling pathways are involved in this ...

Transforming growth factor-β signalling pathway in tendon healing
Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) plays an important but diverse role in tendon injuries, such as collagen synthesis, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell adhesion, leading to tendon healing and tendon fibrosis.

TGF-β regulates nerve growth factor expression in a mouse intervertebral disc injury model
Background Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a major cause of low back pain (LBP). Following disc injury, nerve growth factor (NGF) concentrations rise in IVDs, and anti-NGF therapy has been shown to attenuate LBP in humans.

Regulation of the transforming growth factor β pathway by reversible ubiquitylation [PDF]
The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signalling pathway plays a central role during embryonic development and in adult tissue homeostasis. It regulates gene transcription through a signalling cascade from cell surface receptors to intracellular SMAD ...

Expression of epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor α in interfacial membranes retrieved at revision total hip arthroplasty [PDF]
The interfacial membrane between bone and implant has been shown to be a key tissue in the process of aseptic loosening of total hip arthroplasty. The cells within the interfacial membrane produce numerous inflammatory mediators which, through complex mechanisms, cause periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening.
