Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the transforming growth factor beta type II receptor (TGF-betaRII) have been identified in human cancers, which suggests a causal role for the loss of TGF-betaRII in cancer development. To directly test this in vivo, we have generated transgenic mice expressing a dominant negative TGF-betaRII (delta betaRII) in the epidermis, using a truncated mouse loricrin promoter (ML). ML.delta betaRII transgenic...
