CD4+CD25+ T cells have been identified as a population of immunoregulatory T cells, which mediate suppression of CD4+CD25− T cells by cell–cell contact and not secretion of suppressor cytokines.

Effect on the canine Eck fistula liver of intraportal TGF‐β alone or with hepatic growth factors [PDF]
Transforming growth factor‐β canceled the hepatocyte proliferation caused by transforming growth factor‐α when the two substances were mixed and administered through a disconnected central portal vein branch after creation of an Eck fistula. In contrast,

Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling in Immunity and Cancer.
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is a crucial enforcer of immune homeostasis and tolerance, inhibiting the expansion and function of many components of the immune system. Perturbations in TGF-β signaling underlie inflammatory diseases and promote tumor

Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling in Fibrotic Diseases and Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling is essential in embryo development and maintaining normal homeostasis. Extensive evidence shows that TGF-β activation acts on several cell types, including epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and immune cells, to

Targeting transforming growth factor-β receptors in pulmonary hypertension
The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily includes several groups of multifunctional proteins that form two major branches, namely the TGF-β–activin–nodal branch and the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)–growth differentiation factor (GDF ...

Smad2-dependent glycosaminoglycan elongation in aortic valve interstitial cells enhances binding of LDL to proteoglycans [PDF]
Calcific aortic valve disease is a progressive condition that shares some common pathogenic features with atherosclerosis. Transforming growth factor-ß1 is a recognized mediator of atherosclerosis and is expressed in aortic valve lesions.

Transforming growth factor β1 inhibition protects from noise-induced hearing loss [PDF]
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 and hearing loss.
