Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) depresses mucosal inflammation and upregulates extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. We analyzed TGF-beta receptors RI and RII as well as ECM components using the CD4(+) T-cell-transplanted SCID mouse model of colitis. The principal change in colitis wa...
