Altered expression of transforming growth factor-? ligands and receptors in primary and recurrent ovarian carcinoma
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Resistance to the potent growth inhibitory effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a characteristic of many malignancies. TGF-beta insensitivity has been attributed to alterations in the number and function of the TGF-beta receptors as well as disturbances of downstream signal transduction. Paradoxically, increased levels of TGF-beta ligand have been demonstrated in several types of...
