Transforming Growth Factor-Beta1 in Diabetic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown efficacy in reducing the risk of ESRD.

Anti-fibrotic Actions of Equine Interleukin-10 on Transforming Growth Factor-Beta1-Stimulated Dermal Fibroblasts Isolated From Limbs of Horses [PDF]
Fibroproliferative disorders occur in both humans and horses following skin injury. In horses, wound healing on the limb is often complicated by the formation of fibroproliferative exuberant granulation tissue, characterized by persistent expression of ...

Binding Behavior between Transforming-Growth-Factor-Beta1 and Its Receptor Reconstituted in Biomimetic Membranes [PDF]
Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is critical to cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. It is important to understand the binding affinity between TGF-β1 and its receptors. In this study, their binding force was measured using an atomic
