Abstract excerpt
The development and progression of invasive uterine cervical carcinomas appear to be associated with the progressive loss of sensitivity to transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta)-mediated cell cycle arrest. In order to identify possible molecular mechanisms responsible for TGFbeta resistance, we screened the 7 exons of the type II (TbetaR-II) TGFbeta receptor and the 9 exons of the type I (TbetaR-I) TGFbeta...
