Development of gene-switch transgenic mice that inducibly express transforming growth factor β1 in the epidermis
20 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
Previous attempts to establish transgenic mouse models to study the functions of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) in the skin revealed controversial roles for TGFbeta1 in epidermal growth (inhibition vs. stimulation) and resulted in neonatal lethality in one instance. To establish a viable transgenic model for studying functions of TGFbeta1 in the skin, we have now developed transgenic mice, which...
