Abstract excerpt
Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells were used to study the effects of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) on neuronal differentiation and acquisition of a catecholaminergic phenotype. SH-SY5Y cells express the intracellular factors activated through the receptors of the TGFbeta superfamily members, Smad1 and Smad4, as in basal conditions or after differentiation...
