Requirement for TGFβ receptor signaling during terminal lens fiber differentiation
15 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Several families of growth factors have been identified as regulators of cell fate in the developing lens. Members of the fibroblast growth factor family are potent inducers of lens fiber differentiation. Members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) family, particularly bone morphogenetic proteins, have also been implicated in various stages of lens and ocular development, including lens induction and...
