Age-related changes in expression of transforming growth factor-β and receptors in cells of intervertebral discs
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
OBJECT: The authors conducted a study to determine age-related changes in expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, -beta2, -beta3, and Type I and Type II receptors in various cells in the nucleus pulposus and anulus fibrosus. Immunolocalization of TGFbetas and Type I and II receptors was examined during the aging process of cervical intervertebral discs in senescence-accelerated mice (SAM). The...
