Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta induces a smooth muscle cell phenotype in undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. To elucidate the mechanism(s) of this phenotypic induction, we focused on the molecular regulation of smooth muscle-gamma-actin, whose expression is induced at late stages of smooth muscle differentiation and developmentally restricted to this lineage. Transforming growth factor-beta induced smooth...
