Transforming growth factor beta inhibits megakaryocyte growth and endomitosis [PDF]
Using a rat bone marrow culture system, the effect of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) on megakaryocyte growth and endoreduplication has been studied. Purified human platelet TGF beta 1 inhibited the number of megakaryocytes that appeared in culture at a half-maximal concentration of 0.66 +/- 0.21 ng/mL and inhibited megakaryocyte ...

Targeting transforming growth factor-β signaling [PDF]
Most cancers are characterized by excessive transforming growth factor-beta production by tumors, which can promote tumor growth and mediate epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Transforming growth factor-beta also has the ability to overproduce extracellular matrix components in response to injury and other stimuli.
